hello all...
i have a g4 533 w/ 10.3.2 on the system drive.
i just piggy backed a 10 gig drive on the system drive as a slave,
formatted it with the os x utility (as "journaled" - what does that mean?)
and installed sys 9.2.2 from a cd onto the 10 gig drive.
was this / is this the correct procedure to have os 9 & 10 on the same machine?
(are there docs somewhere about this?)
as good as any. If you want to boot from the 9.2 install you need to have installed the OS 9 drivers during formatting. If you didn't that system folder is only usable for Classic.
As a journaled drive I don't know if OS 9 will boot either.
how do i "use" os 9 while os x is running?
Double-click on an OS 9 app. If the system doesn't know where a valis OS 9 system folder it, it'll ask, point it to the one you just installed.
It will tell you it needs to install some things, tell it yes and soon you get a window telling you Classic is starting (click the reveal arrow to see the good ol' OS 9 boot screen, marching extension icons and all)
Then the classic app will run, at which point you'll notice your menu bar changes to the old style, rainbow apple and all.
do i install my os 9 apps on that drive and launch them?
Yep pretty much.
