well, first off, the Startup Manager (holding down the option key) doesn't list OS Options.... it lists bootable volumes, and only shows the currently selected OS for that volume. downgrading an OS 9 System folder to a previous version (by running an older update) is -always- a bad idea. if you need to go back a version, it's better to just Clean Install OS 9 from scratch. -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
