TOPIC

    The downloadable Mac OS 9.1 Update contains fewer updates and extras than the Mac OS 9.1 CD-ROM disc. This reduces the amount of data that must be downloaded at once.


DISCUSSION

    Mac OS 9.1 Update

    The downloadable update contains core system software updates, Apple Remote Access (ARA) Client Server 4.0, and QuickTime 4.1.3. The Mac OS 9.1 download may only be used to update a computer that has Mac OS 9.0.x installed. It is available at Apple Software Updates ( http://www.apple.com/swupdates ).

    Note: If you use Apple language kits, the disc is required to update to Mac OS 9.1.

    Mac OS 9.1 Disc

    The Mac OS 9.1 disc includes additional updates to Mac OS that are not a part of the downloadable Mac OS 9.1 Update. Some of these additional items are available separately at Apple Software Updates or from third-party Web sites (non-Apple software). The disc may be used for full installation or clean installation. If you already use Mac OS 9, you may qualify to purchase a Mac OS 9.1 disc at reduced cost. To get details, visit the Software section at http://www.apple.com/ . Be sure to choose your geographic region from the pop-up menu on the front page at http://www.apple.com/ .
