If you can network the Duo230 to the PPC Desktop, (you can use a printer
cable or phonenet if you don't have SCSI ethernet on the Duo) and tell the
PPC to Share the CD (select CD icon, then File >Sharing), you can connect
to the PPC from the 230 and mount the CD on the desktop of the 230 as a
server volume.

If you then launch the installer on the CD from the Dou230, it will launch
into the 230's hardware and it will install the appropriate software for
the Duo.

If you want too be safe and you have enough room, make a duplicate of your
existing Duo system folder before you install the new system, or you could
just do a clean install, but if you do that it won't carry your extensions
and control panels and preferences etc. over from the current system on the
Duo now.

Good luck!
