after reading that!<gr>
Lets take this one step at a time Gary,even though you've painter cooking.
QUOTE
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.
For 9.2.2. and up plus 10.2: That's the gold key phrase right there.
QUOTE
So I did a clean install of 9.2.2 onto and empty partition I had on the Beige G3.
Don't really think you needed to do that.
QUOTE
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.
"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!
QUOTE
Then I booted into 9.1 and Painter worked fine and so did all of my USB stuff.
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.
