IIRC, a standard 8.0 install disk will support all hardware configurations (up to that date), while the disk that shipped with the machine will only support that machine. Therefore, you can use a standard 8 disk and install 8 on any machine capable of running 8, but you couldn't use say, an iMac's OS 8.5 CD to install 8.5 on a 7300. -Lavode -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
