My OS X 1.5 and Classic runs very well on my FP iMac with 768 MB. However Oss 9.2.2, which I need to burn bootable CDs, freezes beforeshowing extensions. The machine starts up allright but that is not good enough for my purpose. Question: can I reinstall OS 9.2.2 only, leaving OS X be?
Yes, but you shouldn't really need to and indeed that may not even solve your problem. You probably just have an extensions conflict and/or corruption of extension(s). Boot with the shift key down, for "Extensions Off" and see if it boots... if so, it's probably just an extensions problem. Then, you can use the Extensions Manager (an OS 9 control panel) to weasel out the bad egg. If you hit the Mac Help button (the question mark) in the Extensions Manager, you'll get a list of relevant articles... the important one is "Resolving System Extension Conflicts". Well Jeremy, I believe you were right. Having wrestled with Extension Manager years ago I invested in Conflict Catcher which I managed to install with extensions off. Running CC8 cleaned up OS 9.2.2 and to test it I started 5X to see if the system would hang again but it did not disappoint me. Thanks to you, problem solved.
