On my old PowerBook G4 (running OS X 10.4.11), I simply inserted my Mac OS 9.2 CD and copied the System Folder out of it and onto the root of the hard drive. Mac OS 9 worked perfectly in the Classic environment after that (well, after updates were applied :) ). If you're not picky about using the Classic environment, this is the easiest way of setting it up. --Robert -- Nobody's ever lost in life...they're merely taking the scenic route. ============================== Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments.
