Yes, tried that at first hand, but when that
had no succes i tried to update from a CD
9.2.1 installer (custom), i don't want to do
a clean install because there to much info
on my harddisk. I searched the net by the
way and came accross seomthing like;
that this system only supports version like
8.x / 9.0 / 9.1 and OSX, what about that?

Well, when i start the upgrade i had the
following checked;
Mac OS 9.2.1
Internet access
Apple remote access
Personal Websharing
Text-to-speech
Mac OS Runtime for Java
Network Assistent Client

The following occures after a couple of
minutes;

"This version of Mac OS can not be
installed over the localized version of Mac
OS on the disk, please choose a different
destination disk or perform a cean install"

And i need the 9.2.1 upgrade so i can
start it up in OSX.
I did a little bit of research myself and this
is what i found out; I'm not quite sure but
maybe my G4/400 is the problem, i think
maybe my machine does not support
installing a 9.2.1 version, can that be
true?

Do you have a non-US English version of the Mac OS installed?

And the updater you downloaded is the US version as well, I assume?

Try installing the updater after having booted with extensions off.

Every Mac Apple has released since 1998 supports up to 9.2.2 and OS X, so there's no possible way your G4 is unsupported under 9.2.1.
