[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1839248, member: 46727"] Actually, it's very easy. You can not mess anything up as long as you copy what I show you below and enter it into the terminal. Select: Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal.app When the terminal opens, type (copy and paste) in the following after the prompt: [B]sudo softwareupdate --ignore "macOS Catalina"[/B] Then press return. If you're asked for your Admin password, type that in. It will not appear as you type. Press return. Type in [B]exit[/B]. Then shut the terminal. You're finished, Catalina won't bother you again. If you decide later you want Catalina, come back and we'll show you how to turn the nags back on. :) [/QUOTE]
