Yup, they gave you OS 9.1 because it used to be bundled with OS X (and I had thought still was, but the reports are that Jaguar doesn't come with it). Classic is Virtual PC for running OS 9 INSIDE OS X. Classic is NOTHING but an application that LETS you run OS 9... you still need OS 9. You can have Classic installed without OS 9 (and in fact that is the way OS X installs), but despite it being installed, it is totally useless UNLESS you ALSO install OS 9. Kind of like you can install Virtual PC, but you can't do squat with it unless you ALSO install a PC operating system (DOS, Windows, Linux, OS/2, whatever). -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
