2.6.1 build Help needed

[Joe Lewis Wilkins]

Hi Stephen,

I've been running 9.2.2 on a G4 a VERY long time. A little bit slow by  
today's standards, but it was my workhorse for years and years. Ooops!  
only 9.2.1. I thought I had upgraded it, but apparently not. (smile) I  
did increase the RAM to 768 MB, however, along with 30 and 60 GB hard  
drives. And it has the monster big Apple Display CRT. Got a hernia  
every time I moved it around. About 5 years ago, it went down on me  
and I had to pay Apple $500 to fix it - no AppleCare. But that's the  
only things I've ever had go bad in 22-23 years with Macs.

(Maybe I should knock on wood?)
