You don't need to have 9 installed to run OS X, true, but if you ever have to zap your PRAM or you have any other problems that require you to cold-restart on an unsupported machine, you'll be glad you gave up a few hundred megabytes to a bootable copy of 9. Man, ten years ago if someone had made that last comment, I'd have looked at them like they'd grown an extra head. A few hundred megabytes? We were running multiuser development systems with 140M and 380M drives, and even a few 40M ones still in operation. -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
