Getting to OS 9 by way of OS X
Getting to OS 9 from OS X. When you go to System Pref / Classic for the first time after install, you will get a request asking to make some changes to OS 9. What is going on here is that an ENABLER is installed and if you now look at the OS 9 system folder you will see a very faint big X on the one that has been enabled. I had 3 OS 9 systems and only the first one that the system found was changed and the faint big X added to its folder. This folder MUST be kept or you will not be able to get to OS 9 from OS X.

Not exactly true You must have at least 1 OS 9 System Folder in your Mac, for it to have something to use for the Classic Environment. if you delete an OS 9 System Folder that have a faint X on it, It will use any remaining OS 9 System Folders for Classic Environment, but first asks you for a permission to Enable it, for it's use as the Classic Environment. thank You --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: Getting to OS 9 by way of OS X
I have OS X 10.2 on a G4 Sawtooth but no OS 9 on it. Can I install OS 9 on it? I have OS 9 discs from my iMac that I moved many documents and programs from to the G4. I also have an external hard drive hooked up to the G$ that has OS 9 on it, and so far the G$ has been using that to run OS 9 programs. --- On Sat, 12/20/08, Mullin9 ddavidmul...@inbox.com wrote: From: Mullin9 ddavidmul...@inbox.com Subject: Re: Getting to OS 9 by way of OS X To: G3-5 List g3-5-list@googlegroups.com Date: Saturday, December 20, 2008, 10:43 PM I had 3 OS 9 systems and only the first one that the system found was changed and the faint big X added to its folder.

Re: Getting to OS 9 by way of OS X
You can install OS 9 on the Sawtooth. It's best to use a separate partition from OS X or a separate drive There's a good chance the iMac OS 9 disks won't work, though, especially if the iMac is older than your G4. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
