I asked this earlier, but I'll ask again: Why do you want to boot into 9 in the first place? For me, on my iBook 500 OS 9 runs a bit snappier, but the difference in speed is far outweighed by the difference in stability of the only-a-little-bit slower OS X. Is there some program that you desperately need? Or do you simply prefer OS 9? Wiebe -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
