To begin, I'd already had a Min Set made from the Base Set, but following Mac Guru Randy Singer's advice to see Bob LeVitus' Dr. Mac pages here: <http://www.osxfaq.com/dailytips/02-2002/02-28.ws> I learned much more is possible to pare on my now normal really bare/superquick Min Set for using with OSX. > Really tho, most extensions only load a minimal amount of code, until > they're called upon to do more. IOW, the savings is minor. I must now disagree, and say that it is Major savings in both time and used RAM especially after I went in and turned off VM in the Memory CP before I finally disabled that CP too. Give it a shot, I'm sure you'll be surprized, especially if'n you aren't Max'd on RAM, but even then I would venture a bigtime boot savings is to be easily had. Anyway, it's worth a tryout. > >nor a list of OS9's Fonts that I can move > > The only fonts that OS 9 "needs" are the ones used by the actual > system, as determined by the Appearance cdev plus the bitmap versions > of the original city faces: Monaco 9pt, Geneva 9 and 12pt, and > Chicago 12pt. > > Again, you're taking about saving maybe 1/10 sec and about 20KB RAM, > then killing your ability to access the fonts later.

I will tryout disableing some of the Fonts I never use/not used by the System after loading CCv8.1 over the weekend just to see just what happens. > If you want to quibble over time, why not just set Classic to load on > boot?

A very Good piece of advise that has been completed and Wow!! what a difference it has made, on top of the advice from Randy and Dr. Mac, the startup screen of Classic goes by too fast to even notice.
