Dear Sean, I personally feel that the best way to go is to reformat your HD if you have a viable way to back up your information. Then repartition with the Disk Utility within the Installer (only accessible from the "Welcome" screen before you start the installation process).
I too have a Wallstreet (250mhz, 1MB, 256MB RAM, etc.) and had an initial difficult time installing an operating the OS. My solution was to backup my data, reformat/repartition my HD and build from scratch my apps. Luckily I had downloaded a copy of the 10.2.2 fix that solved my modem's previous unresponsiveness. I could tell you horror stories... Anyway, so to make this short I'd be happy to assist you further as I have other listers. I also have a treasure trove of OS 9/Aqua/Jaguar apps which I'd be happy to share a copy with you, if you'd like. Cheers! - John On Saturday, November 23, 2002, at 09:34 PM, S.D.
