Ive updated that to OS 9.2.2 but I am going to buy panther and install that instead but thought id try and get some advice first (being as i am a PC user trying to enter the mac community and have little or no real knowledge of macs)When i go to install, is it just a case of sticking the disc in and away we go? i think i read that you restart and hold down c(?) to boot from the disc, is that correct?and once the installation starts, what should i expect to see? will it give me formatting options like other OS's (xp etc) or will it simply install right over the top? im just curious as i hear you guys talking about classic running too? im taking it that 9.2 also runs inside of osx? I know that some imacs etc come as 'dual boot' systems with both installed, is this how mine will be after installation of osx?sorry to drone on wth all the boring beginner crap, i just dont wanna make a hash of it. if my pc goes down then fine i can deal with it, but if the mac dies then i wouldnt have a clue!thanks in advance for any helpjon</blockquote>
