I just got my Painter 8 upgrade so I can use it with OS 10.2.6.
It will also run with OS9.2.2 but not OS9.1.
I'd like to have it on both computers so I'm contemplating upgrading my System software
on the Beige G3 to 9.2.2.
Does anyone know if there are any issues with something not working if I upgrade to 9.2.2 from 9.1?
I thought I remembered something that Kelly or someone mentioned a while back and thought I'd check with TS before I hit the install button.

Mixed reviews over there.
I just want to make sure my zip drive will work and my Iomega burner. I really need a new burner even though I have the built in one on the Quicksilver. That Iomega is dog slow.

You might want to install 9.2.2 on a separate partition first and see how it goes on your particular hardware/software for a while.
More of the same sort of thing as what Harve posted:

Can’t say why or what they were specifically, but Techtools nor Norton could straighten them out. Driver conflicts in some cases, Conflict Catcher continued to find a broken System File. I didn’t have the time to thoroughly check it out, I just dumped it and went back to 9.2.1....... your mileage may vary.

I upgraded to 9.21 (from 9.1), then soon to 9.2.2.
Ran it for several weeks or a month.
I decided that it was somewhat less stable than 9.1 had been, so I went back to 9.1.
Since I had saved a copy of my entire system folder (on my backup volume) before I began the whole upgrade process, it was pretty easy - boot to a system seedie, swap and rename the SFs, copy a few prefs (such as my Stickies file and Pando Calendar stuff), and fix a few aliases.
But YMMV. I have heard from and read about many people who find 9.2.2 to be as stable (or more) than 9.1 and / or 8.6.

I certainly haven't observed it being less stable than 9.1 was. If you're worried, follow kbear's prudent strategy.
Now as for Netscape 7.x ----

I'll see if or when any conflicts show up...maybe I'll install it over 9.1 if it runs well.
A lot less HDD activity. I wonder if it's the new drivers?
Now it see if Painter 8 will install. It runs great on OS 10.2.6.

I can't get my Logitech optical mouse to work or my Wacom USB tablet under 9.2.2. Not a problem under 9.1.

I downloaded the latest drivers before and none of my USB works with OS9.2.2.
So, I installed Painter 8 under OS 9.2.2 into my Applications partition and then fired up
OS 9.1 and Painter 8 works fine with 9.1.....it just won't install under 9.1.
Soooooo...I think I'll just wipe that partition with 9.2.2 clean.

Hope this translation is correct:

"and then fired up OS 9.1" <-? Why 9.1.?

When I got Painter 8 it said on the box that it was for 9.2.2 and up, including OS 10.2.
I tried to install it on 9.1 and it wouldn't install.....the installer said it could not find OS 9.2.2.
So I did a clean install of 9.2.2 onto and empty partition I had on the Beige G3.
Problem was none of my USB stuff would work on OS9.2.2 on the G3. So I booted into 9.2.2 and installed Painter 8 onto another Partition that I keep my applications on.
Then I booted into 9.1 and Painter worked fine and so did all of my USB stuff.
It's confusing.

Lets take this one step at a time Gary,even though you've painter cooking.

For 9.2.2. and up plus 10.2: That's the gold key phrase right there.

Don't really think you needed to do that.
QUOTE

"So I booted into 9.2.2." The same 9.2.2. from the empty partition? Or do you have a 9.2.2. system in the applications partition?
Painter 8 apparently needs 9.2.2. and up to install all its Corn-Flakes in that system.
You were going to install painter 8 in the applications partition anyways.
Fine and dandy.
I just did a 'get info' on my 9.2.2. active partition = Used: 1,000.7 MB on disk.
My spare 9.2.2. stashed = 935 MBs
See where I'm heading towards Gary.
If you indeed do have a 9.2.2. in the applications partition, great.!.
What OS are your other apps/programs in that application partition in bed with anyways?
If not. Why not slap one in there.?.
Then create an alias of painter 8 and bring it over to your 9.1 partition.
Painter will be happy as a clam and your "USB stuff" as well.
NOW! That last sentence of yours!

SAY WHAT!?! HOW!?! Naturally your "USB stuff" wasn't effected BUT where is painter 8 pulling its -Honey-Buns. Can I go out and play- stuff from? Can't be from the 9.1. system.
Taking a guess you have a 9.2.2. system in the applications partition.
If this is true. You could of created an alias of painter 8 >over to 9.1 ~~ done ~~.
If not.
There coming to take me away .. ya ya .. there coming to take me away.

No I don't have a System 9.2.2 on the Applications partition.
QUOTE

I guess it isn't. I didn't think about what it installed into the System folder.
Now I'm getting confused.
Later today, if I get a chance I'm going to install Painter 8 on the Quicksilver HD that has 9.2.2 on it. I have 2 HDDs on the QS, one for 10.2.6 and one for 9.2.2. I'll see how that get along.
It just occured to me though that since I have a hub and a Keyspan USB-PCI card in the Beige......I don't know.

There lies the puzzle. If not for you,sure as do-do <-ya like that <gr> for me.
Post by: Gary S on June 28, 2003, 10:35:54 PM
The only things Painter 8 installs in the System folder are these that I got from the intallation Log:
Installed Other System:System Folder:Extensions:KODAK PRECISION CP1
Installed Other System:System Folder:Extensions:KODAK PRECISION ProfileAPI
Installed Other System:System Folder:Extensions:KodakCMSC
Friday, June 27, 2003 5:51 PM
The installation is complete.
Painter has always been good that way.....it doesn't install much in the System Folder. B)
