I think the difference is: if you do a clean install, ie, you format the disk and install Jaguar, you need to install OS 9 again before you do it. But if you do an 'Archive and Install', which saves the old installation of OS X in a 'Previous Systems' folder and moves all your applications and documents to the new system, then you don't have to install (or re-install) OS 9. I did an 'Archive and Install' and my old OS 9 is fine, either as OS 9 or as Classic. -- best wishes Paul http://www.paulbradforth.com =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
