First, Emily Thanx for your good catch here, and also to Chris for the advise on the partition(bootable) use for both OS9.x and OSX(for me Panther) clarification. Right now, I'd very much appreciate a lil' more advise; on the side, I am very anxious on being able(or not) to put some Apps(OS9.x) or all of them on another scratch partition separate from it's System, and possibly the moving of things(in OSX mainly) like the iTunes library to another(scratch) partition. And in OS9 would this be accomplished simply by an Alias left in place of the original?, and how would this be done in OSX?, and if'n while booted into OS9 and each App. is tested as good working and linked up, then while booted in OSX can we expect no problems with Classic being fully able to use them as they were linked? I've read that the moving of OSX Apps. is Not a good thing to try doing, but what other parts of OSX are normally safe to move, and once again; is this as easy as leaving an Alias in place, and then using CCC or SuperDuper(I do seriously doubt that a dragndrop Finder copy in OSX is OK) to move the/a chosen Folder to the other wished/wanted location onto another partition??
