A quick note if you plan on booting into OS9 - partition your drive and
place OS9 on the first partition. In 10.2.x, holding the "d" key would
have the computer boot into the OS it found on the first partition (in
this case OS9); holding the "x" key would have it search out and boot into
OS X.

Yes, I think this PowerBook can boot in OS 9.

I have all of my computers partitioned onto two sections, one with OSX and
one with OS 9.2.2. That way I can boot to either X or 9 and avoid the slow
processing in Classic, since 9 runs much faster on my computers.

I'm a new to owning a Powerbook and have some questions.
Welcome to the club.

I recently bought a used 15", G4, 800 MHz Powerbook which has Panther 
installed. The seller gave me the set of system discs that came with 
the machine, 10.1, without the Panther upgrade discs and without 
documentation. The owner also had no need for OS 9 so there is no 
classic installed. Owning a lot of older Macs with different 
requiremets for  installing OS 10, I need some help on the following,  
and anything else that I might be over-looking from lack of 
experience--

I also purchased a used, full install set of Panther discs (without 
printed documentation).

Would this software have the Powerbook CP's or any components that 
might exist for the Powerbook? I didn't see Powerbook specific Panther 
installation discs at Apple.
OS X installs all components needed for any model of Macintosh that it 
can run on.  For Panther, this means all models from Blue & White G3s 
on up.  I believe Apple specified "built-in USB."  You needn't worry 
about missing anything - you're not.

Is it necessary to partition the 60 GB drive when I install drivers 
for 9.2.2-to create a separate partition for each OS and relating to 
this question, does this machine boot in 9.2.2?
It's not necessary to partition the drive; I keep both Classic and OS X 
on the same volume in all of my system builds.  I believe you bought a 
15" Titanium G4, correct?  If so, that computer WILL boot into OS 9 if 
you want it to and if the drive had OS 9 drivers installed upon 
initialization.  BTW, I consider partitioning to be a religious matter.

The machine is beautiful and runs very fast in Panther--I am 
overwhelmed by it. It also seems to get very hot on the bottom--Is 
this normal and OK?
I have a 1 GHz Titanium and it gets hot too.  I use a Podium CoolPad 
stand to elevate the back end of the computer and put some airflow 
between me and the bottom of it.  Works like a champ.  I believe the 
Apple Stores sell them which is handy if you have one near you.

There are no PowerBook-specific Panther system disk. One set installs on any
Macintosh that supports it. So, your used set should do the trick.

I always partition my hard drive because it makes it easier to reformat a
system partition to install a new version (a thing I always did so far). So,
since I'm also getting a copy of OS 9, I have 3 partitions: 1 for the OS X
system partition, one for OS 9 system partition and the remainder for
everything else. I try to install most applications on the third partition
so in case I have to re-install OS X, I will have only a small number of
apps to re-install.

The Titanium seem to become very hot, so that seems normal.

New PB user questions

Hi Listers-

I'm a new to owning a Powerbook and have some questions.
