[X Newbies] Question re First Install of OS X on iMac

[wdlnd at adelphia.net]

I installed OS X  Jaguar on my old iBook.  I installed 9.2 first, then Jaguar.   
Before the install I saved what I needed and then erased the drive.  I 
guess I did not need a firmware upgrade cause it's working great.  I 
thought if you needed to upgrade firmware you would get a message 
before or after the install.  I guess not.
