[muglo] installation woes ...

Hello - here we go ..... I'm on a bronze firewire, G3 Powerbook. I 
want to go to OS X. I'm presently on OS 9.2. I understand that OS X 
requires at least OS 9.2.1 as a classic mode to function correctly, 
and now there's an improved updater out yet - that of OS 9.2.2. OK 
... so far so good.

Now, on attempting to install the OS 9.2.1 updater over my squeaky 
clean install of 9.2 w/ absolutely no third party add on in addition 
to what is in the installer, I repeatedly get the impasse of a 
dialogue box saying, "This cannot be installed over existing system; 
choose a different destination disc or perform a clean install." Yet 
this is an updater and cannot be installed over a reformatted HD - 
believe me I tried that too! It's direct from the apple site and 
authentic.

Needless to say, I haven't gotten to the OS 9.2.2 updater, much less OS X.

Any suggestions?

P.S. I did previously try an install of OS X w/my current system and 
the results were someless than satisfactory - 9.2.1 and now 9.2.2 are 
the ideal and recommended classic modes.
