Sorry! I meant to modify my previous posting to include you all in my request for advice. I asked (now modified):
I just attempted to install (add) OS 9.2.1 (to the OS X 10.3.8 on which the iBook is currently running, and is the only OS currently installed on it), starting up from the 9.2.1 disk which comes as part of the install set of OS X 10.2. When I get to the screen which asks to choose a disk to install the OS on, the iBook's HD is not selectable. The message is: "This version of Mac OS 9.2.1 may not be installed over the system software on the currently selected volume. Press the "Options. . . " button to perform a clean installation." When I press the Options. . . button, I'm told: "Perform Clean Installation. Installs a completely new System Jolder that does not include your third-party extensions, control panels, or fornts. System software and application preferences are reset to their original settings." This message gives me NO indication of whether this installation will wipe out the installed version of OS X 10.3.8. What do you recommend I do here? Many thanks, stanton -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
