AFAIK, there's no such thing as "Classic" version of OS9. It's just MacOS 9, and you can use it both for Classic and for booting into OS9 (if your Mac allows it - G5s don't). Some people (me included) keep two different OS9 installations for those two purposes, for having different set of extensiones and the like, but it's not mandatory. Since you will use OS9 just for Classic, don't worry about the above and install it. It will not alter you OSX installation in any way, AFAIK: the two operating systems will happily coexists on the same drive, without disturbing each other. :-) -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
