Thanks!
I figured it out. The thing that was messing me up is that the new 
installer disks seem to only want to install - they don't let you 
quit the installer. I finally noticed that the Jaguar disk has an 
"open disk utility" option. I used that to partition & reformat the 
hard drive, then of course, since the Jaguar disk could not install 
an operating system, since I had erased the old one in the reformat, 
I had to do some fancy disk swapping & restarting. I think I'm about 
ready for a game of Centipede (Apeiron) on my 6400 now.
Till Next Time,
Melissa
