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.
