It doesn't really matter in which order you install OS 9 and OS X anymore. I'd install OS X, update to 10.2.6 with the *Combo* updater (important, don't use the regular updaters as they are prone to cause problems), then install Mac OS 9.1 and update to 9.2.2. There's no reason to stay at 9.1 if you're going to use classic (in OS X) mostly. It's better to upgrade. If you ever going to boot from OS 9 to use it for any longer time also add Carbonlib 1.6 and Applescript 1.8.3 or later to OS 9. If you have one of the old G3 boxes that demand that OS X be installed on the first 8 GB, you might have to partition it to at least one 7.9 GB partition if you have a bigger HD. After all installations reboot from the OS X CD and choose Disk utility and repair permissions. Make sure you keep about 20% of your HD free for Virtual memory files and other stuff. I hope you have 384 MB RAM or more? If not, get some more. ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
