Apple has changed the format of the restore CD's a number of times. The most recent restore CD's require that OS X be installed. Then once you install OS X you can put restore CD #1 in and follow the instructions. At a point the installer will ask you what you would like to restore: OS 9 Applications Games Developer software Etc. Then you choose what you would like to install and go for it. I do this everyday in my work. If the customer only wants 9 installed I install X, restore it, reboot to 9 and then toss all the X system stuff. I'm actually quite steamed at Apple for not putting a 9.2.2 universal installer on their internal site so we techs can download it. We can D/L 9.2.1, but there are a number of machines (from about the 800MHz flat panel iMac and up) that will not boot to 9.2.1 and require 9.2.2. That means that as a tech I have to call the customer and ask them to bring in their restore CD's. If they haven't lost them. If they *have* lost them then they are SOL. -- Kyle H.
