Please be patient with me. I'm not familiar with the exact protocol for posting to groups, and I sent a response to Al Poulin which bounced back because I did it through the archives and used the wrong email address so I'm trying again: Al, thank you so much for all the help installing OS10.4 (March 26). I inadvertently erased your response while checking my email out of town, and I just figured out how to access the G4 list archives. I really appreciate the time it took you to be so detailed. I filed an extension for the taxes, and I will now read your directions and try to follow them. In answer to your question: My external hard drive is 250G, but I partitioned it in half for some reason. I'm thinking of removing the partition.
