Hello -

I stupidly interrupted the install of 10.5 and chose the destination disk as the new startup disk. I now cannot restart. I remember there was a key combo you were supposed to press to force it to start from the CD. I can't remember it. Does someone recall?

Thanks. Wow am I a dolt.

She's too happy!

Hold down C to start from CD (or DVD).

Thanks - I'll see if it works. I believe I tried it yesterday, but I was panicked, so I was probably wrong.

She's too happy!
