IIRC, there were problems w/ BootX and OS 9.x. Seems there was a thread on |
| 2 |
that on the YellowDogLinux list a year or so ago. I don't remember the |
| 3 |
solution being "extensions off," but, hey, if it works..... |

Hey it works! I booted up my mac w extensions off, and booted bootx and I |
| 37 |
actually got the installer. My mac is running 9.1 so some older OS's might |
| 38 |
run fine. I can now actually start playing with this thing. |
