That explains why I can't boot it with NetBoot. even. I knew that  
Macs will only install machine specific OS discs but I didn't know at  
first that my  eMac would only boot 9.2.2. I bought a 9.2.1 system  
disc-no help. Now I go to find an eMac 9.2.2 installation disc.

Thanks, everyone, for the help. I don't post questions or answers to  
the list often. I learn a lot from the other posts and by the time I  
find something I can answer, y'all beat me to it.

Again, thanks
Fred
