Hello G-Listers, Probably with the help of XPostFacto, I was able to install the Jag upgrade via the following method: Booting OS 9 from an internal IDE HDD partition, inserting the CD, launching XPostFacto, selecting an external SCSI HDD with 10.1.5 on it. I don't have the XPostFacto settings, but I assume they were the default ones. From Jag installer, I customized the install (among other things,excluding BSD). When the restart came on, the usual 'infinite loop' re-appeared: you get two choices - restart or shut down. In desperation, I typed control-command-escape and amazingly got the log-in dialogue box, and was able to get to Finder stage! It's slow on the external SCSI HDD. I don't expect it'll be any better if I upgrade the internal IDE HDD (also with 10.1.5). Any Beige DT users care to comment on the advantages of Jag on Beige? The current set-up is fast for my modest purposes and the hardware is ancient (Beige Rev.A, 768 MB Ram, 400 MHz/1 MB cache G3, Mac 16" Color Display (fixed res.), ATI Rage 128 16 MB, 56k connection). Cheers George
