Hello, I've been asked by a friend to help him get his PPC Powerbook 3400 (16Mb RAM, 1Gb free space on HD, OS 7.6) connected to the net. In doing this (installing a PCMCIA modem and the Apple internet connection kit) all went well, except that the system now suffers from Error 11 failures, forcing the laptop to be rebooted. In researching this, I find that this is a known problem for this OS version and it was suggested that an u/g to 7.6.1 was the solution. I downloaded the five .bin files and script from Apples web site and after expanding these into a directory using Stuffit Expander, I end up with five .img files and an .scr file. When I run the .scr from the directory I created, a box pops up, there is loads of scrolling text (unreadable due to the speed) and this stops with an error code which is a different number each time I run the .scr. What am I doing wrong? My experience is with dos/Windoze, Novell and Unix. This is new territory to me and it is pissing me off that I cannot get on top of this problem. Any advice would be appreciated, before I teach this laptop to fly! Ian Linwood ian@dinwoodi.f9.co.uk
