Ok, I just installed Panther, I like it so far. So I go to install my PS7 upgrade cd, but the installer keeps trying to open in classic, which it then alerts me it won't work in classic. How do I get this thing to start natively?

Get info in the Finder for the installer and their should be a checkbox that you can uncheck to open in OS X.

This happened to me while I was installing FC Express. I just dragged the installer to the desktop and it launched fine from there.

Sweet, I dragged the install file to the desktop and now it runs natively. That's weird, oh well, it works.
