I need help installing os 7.5.2 on my powerbook 190cs.
It is using 7.6 right now and i want a fresh install.
When i try it says that i need to delete the systems folder and i tried but the computer won't let me.
Any and all help is appreciated.
I also tried holding down c during boot up but i got the same install screen.
HELP ME....i hope the pickle is out there!
thanks

You are not installing from a CD, so don't
hit the C key on booting. Insert your first
installer floppy (should say ' install me
first ' ) and restart. It should boot from
floppy, if not try again but hold
delete-option-command-shift (DOCS)
until it boots from floppy. Then you can do
a 'clean install' or use DriveSetup to
re-initialize the disk first (my suggestion
is you do this, but backup your data first).
