OS X has some funkiness on an older G3 PB. The easiest way to achieve what you want would be to mount the CD while in OS X, then select it as the startup disk. Then re-boot. If you have the room in the 12 GB partition, you can install OS 9 there. It doesn't have to be installed in the first 8 GB. Somebody help me out here, I don't want to give bad advice. Will Dave be able to **boot* into OS 9 is he didn't install the OS 9 drivers when he partitioned in OS X? I can't imagine that he did if he doesn't have OS 9 installed. >Again: Wallstreet 300gHz, 192mb RAM, 20g HD (8g/12g partitions) Wow, 192 MB is not very much when it comes to running OS X. Is there's any way you can manage to up it to 384, you'll find OS X runs faster and quite a bit better for you. HTH, B0b -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
