--- You wrote: Partition #1 the Primary OS, 2 gig, which will include the operating system (OS 9.1), a Utilities folder and Internet Apps (Netscape and Eudora as they have key files in the system folder) --- end of quote --- Os 9 doesn't care where it is on the drive but X does. If you think you might want to try osx without making big changes in your drive, make your first partition 9 gigs (8 is required for x but it pays to make it bigger just in case the installer feels short changed) and use it for things you can move out to clear the space for X. Or make it that big, use it for 9 and copy the system stuff out (or use your backup 9) when necessary to clear the partion for installing X.
This does not apply to drives on an ATA card that makes the system think it is looking as scsi. There is no real problem sharing a partition with X and 9. I have my primary Panther and 9 systems on the same unpartitioned drive. I hope my thinking is clear on this. Rich -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
