Oh yeah- I've got a clean partition just for Classic. My whole System is pretty clean. It's the one area of my life in which I'm pretty disciplined. It helps not having a HD bigger than 15 Gs... > > With 10 and 9 on different partitions, you should be able to install > 9.2.1 from within 10, even if 10 is the ExPostFacto version.> > One note of caution: Everything I have read said you should not have > more than one versions of OS 9 on the same computer with OS 10, even if > each OS is on a separate partition. (Don't know about OS 8.0, 8.6, etc.) I disagree- and I haven't read that. I have 2 OS 9s right now- one for Classic, one for serious work- like Photoshop etc... I don't have problems with that. > > Hope some of this is helpful. I am still a newbie at OS10.
