Well, I realise this topic is a bit old, so just a quick question this time: I ordered a full copy of OS 9 but was just today loaned a copy of the restore software (including the OS 9.0.4 disk) that came with a friend's iMac. Is this installable on my PB? If not, a follow up question: I know that with some windows updates (e.g. the windows 98 upgrade disk) you only have to remove a single file to make a "full install" copy. Can this be done with this disk? I'm impatient to get OS 9 on my PB and play with it :).
