bad install over beta:-9
it arrived this am, fed-x. installed it over the beta partition.
Agreed..
I wimped out, and didn't even try. I took some stuff from my Users folder that I wanted to save, and then wiped the beta partition. One less variable to worry about. I'd recommend a wipe if you have the room to save the stuff you're interested in keeping.
Works for me
Updated my public beta...
it worked
I installed it on top of the public beta. I took the risk.
MacOsX over PB is OK
I didn't have any particular problems installing MacOsX over the PB. After installing System 9.1, I restarted the machine, but this made PB starting again. So I restarted the machinc holding the 'C' button and with the MacOsX CD inserted. So the installation process begun. It took a lot of time, but at the end, all was regular. The network settings were taken from PB ones. |
