Hi Sorry, but no OS9 anymore, it will only ever be 'classic' from now on.
Look at the way OSX organises things and work with it - applications in the applications directory and user files in the user area. A lot of applications in X will only work properly if they are in the apps directory (an example is the still underused 'services' capability) OSX expects everything to be where it wants it to be ... No more moving the system folder to deep inside someone's personal directories :-)) Disks are cheap, so many of the older reasons for partitioning have been sidelined. A spare disk for PS scratch is ok. I only keep a separate partition for 9 and X since I have some s/w that only runs in 'real' OS9 and don't have a G5! The quick fix of being able to boot into 9 to cure some OSX oddity is gone, so take precautions - one of which is a good book on OSX! If you have been using Macs for a while it really is worthwhile reading up on OSX, there are loads of little bits that you might never come across if you just keep using your new machine in the old Mac way... Now to go off and fire up my Macintosh Portable with System 6.0.8 on it - no anti-aliased text, real icons, and a control panel that looks ... just like the OSX System Preferences :-)) bye for now Keith Cooper Northlight Images http://northlight-images.co.uk Photography - Digital Imaging - Apple Mac Consultancy Tel +44 (0)116 291 9092 Mobile +44 (0)780 162 9397 =============================================================== GO TO http://www.prodig.org for ~ GUIDELINES ~ un/SUBSCRIBING ~ ITEMS for SALE
