The recommended way to upgrade is to put 9.1/9.2.1 on one partition
and put 10.1 on another. You can have them on the same partition but
may have a problem getting into YDL from OS 10. Unless you are a
person who likes some pain and can deal with frustration better than
I can . Do not mess with OS 10 yet. Of course, if you want it to look
underneath it to Darwin and its Unix base then I would suggest a
complete backup and repartition of the hard drive. Much trouble for a
small gain. Jerry
