Thanks for the reply.
I just want to install OS 9 and run it from the machine. My main
interest is to be able to access my old Address Book program from
many years ago, I shall have to pull it off my old 9600/300 Power PC,
which is gathering dust behind a sofa in my room.

I have an older PPC MacMini 7400 running OS X 4.11 which i purchased
overseas a while back. When I reformatted the drive, using the
original disks, I didn't bother installing the system 9.1 option. Now
I would like to do so.
If I run the installer for OS 9.1.(I think it's on disk #2) will it
load without having to reformat the entire drive again for OS X 4.11,
or should I save all my files, onto a largish external USB drive
which I have, do it all over again, or perhaps, just forget the whole
thing.
If you're talking about installing Classic, the Classic installer will
just install Classic and 9.2.2, and will not reformat your disk or
touch
10.4 otherwise.
If you're talking about installing OS 9, no Mac mini can boot Mac
OS 9;
they can only run Classic.
