I'm still trying to get past this "Broken Pipe" warning dialogue
box, but the 17Mb+ installer seems to decompress fine to the
.dmg installer(strangely now unpacked at 53Mb in size), yet it
refuses to mount w/ only the "broken pipe" db in my face.
-fyi- this iMac isn't connected to anything other than power
yet.

I've got Safari v1.1, Firefox v1.0(w/ v 1.0.2 waiting to install), Mozilla
v1.7.5 
all loaded. And still the new iCab left to find, download and install, but
I'd 
like to have a full compliment of browsers on hand to use at will for
those 
tricky sites that prefer one over another to keep all the bases covered,
so to 
speak/type. And would anyone have a point to URL for the download of an 
off-line full installer of the newest version 1.2 of Safari??, as it seems
that 
Apple has it now all locked up into it's Software Update oNly.

Will the exact "alphanumeric series of characters" be needed on the name
to replace the "default profile"(whatever it's named)?

Ok gotcha, then it's the new 120Gb that will go in there, and can someone
suggest a good partitioning/formatting scheme for me?, and will I need to
accomplish a less < than 8Gb 1st. partition for install of boot Systems? 
Also, need I install OSX.2 and the X.2.8 combo, followed by the upgrade 
installer to OSX.3, and lastly install OS9.2x, or visa versa?, or what is
suggested?
-fyi- I don't have the full installer of OSX.3, only the upgrade CD, and 
I will need OS9 to be fully bootable.

TIA once again for all your Guru help, advice, and suggestions.

Respectful of GURUs
