Notes:

To update to the latest version of Norton Utilities for Macintosh, run LiveUpdate.
If you can start up from your Symantec Macintosh product CD, there is no need for a replacement disk.
The version of Norton Utilities used when booted from the CD is compatible with Mac OS X v10.1 - v10.2.x.

Note: The Norton Utilities CD contains two installers, Norton Utilities 7.0.1 for Mac OS X 10.1 and Norton Utilities 6.0.4 for OS 8.1 through 9.2.2.
