I have successfully completed the on a g4 iBook. I am posting exactly=20
how I did this, I do not know if all of the steps I took are necessary,=20
I just put them in as an example of a successful install.
1) download the NCU installer. I only got this to work with the full=20
installer. I was able to get the 3 img files to mount but you have to=20
place them in the os 9 applications folder and open them with the os 9=20
disk copy utility after you have started the classic environment.
2) start the classic environment.
3) unstuff the .sit file with the os 9 version of stuffit.
4) launch the NCU installer. It will take several minutes for it to=20
fully launch after you press the agree button. I was not able to get it =
to load with the "Easy install" option. It stalled on 23 of 24 items=20
XTND Translators.
5)once the NCU installer fully launches press the "Custom" option. =20
Install the NCU in this order and in the os 9 applications folder 1)=20
application only. 2)Communications tool only 3)Translators only. After=20
each instillation I clicked the continue option to install the next part =
of NCU.
When I did this they installed really quickly, after waiting for the=20
installer to finish "preparing to Install".
If you have any problems with the installer loading throw the unstuffed=20
installer in the trash, quit the classic environment, restart the=20
classic environment, rebuild the desktop, again unstuff the NCU .sit=20
file with the os 9 version of stuffit and start again.
I was able to repeat these steps so I know this will work.
Cheers
Clayton
