You need to select "Specify partitions manually" and then direct the installer to install 9.10 on the partition(s) that now hold 8.04.

Alright - I did that, then clicked on the partition on which 8.04 is now, to edit it.
Sooo ... do I need to delete it, format, ...?
I hope to keep EVERYTHING, EXACTLY as it is now; just over-write 8.04...
Thanks again there...

The installer should automatically format the partition that you direct it to use unless you tell it not to format that partition. Originally Posted by buccaneere oz
