How to Install Classic OS 9 Support in OS 10.3
How to Install Classic OS 9 Support in OS 10.3 I have a iMAC G3 333 MHz, 6Gig HD, 192 RAM. I asked earlier about install the latest firmware (version 1.2) on my iMAC machine with MAC OS 9. I could not get it to read the file and received an error. I tried several ways including uncompressing it on another MAC and then using a USB drive to transfer it but still no luck. After several hours I decided to go ahead and install MAC OS 10.3. MAC OS 9 didn't seem to be working right. I had the MAC 10.3 install format the drive and do a fresh install but I lost MAC OS 9. How can I install MAC OS 9 on the same partition as 10.3? Can I just copy a backup of my system folder and rename it something like system9? Once OS 9 is installed, how can I have the computer bootup in just OS 9 without X running? How can I tell in 10.3 exactly what version Firmware I have? I'm told 10.3 can work without the correct updated firmware but would have some problems with external drives, etc. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to Low End Mac's iMac List, a group for those using G3, G4, G5, and Intel Core iMacs as well as Apple eMacs.

A different mail questions

I'd stick with 'em. Verizon FiOS rocks (I'm on it now). Their email service sux; I think it's pharmed to Yahoo. Like with all ISPs, keep their software away from your Mac.

Re: iMAC models 233/266/333 MHz can't boot from USB
That ultimate boot cd is probably for Intel machines, not PPC. You certainly can boot from the optical drive, though. I have used a 2gig flash drive with OS 9, but the experience was just aweful (it was formatted as FAT32). OS 9 would stall for a few minutes after insertion, and would not boot properly if the drive was attatched. Perhaps it would work better formatted for Macintosh instead of Windows. But from my experience, I recommend a drive smaller than 2gigs.

I don't have any Classic applications to run, I just wanted to see if Classic would run (and boot). Now that I've seen it work, I would like it gone. I used Brian Troisi's suggestion to use Cmd+S at startup. Instead of actually deleting the "System Folder" directory, possibly causing irreversible damage to the file system, I opted to rename it with the 'mv' command. I used mv -v "System Folder" Lonnie I verified that the change was made and then did exit OS X continued to boot as normal. Now, the OS 9 System folder (the one with the big 9 on it) reflects it's new name of 'Lonnie'. Startup Disk still recognizes it as a bootable OS folder. Also, I get the same error, as usual, when trying to drag it to the Trash: The operation could not be completed because item "Lonnie" is required by the System. I can still start Classic mode. It appears that I haven't broken anything. Something interesting that I just noticed. It's probably not related to the issue though. On this machine I turned on 'Show Classic status in menu bar'. I can see the icon in the menu bar change from light grey (Classic OFF) to a darker grey, maybe black (Classic ON). On another machine, at home, I could swear that the Classic ON icon in the menu bar was colored with the orange-ish number 9. If it wasn't an iMac at the house, then it was a Titanium at the house (also running 10.4.11). The difference between these two machines, OS-wise, is that this one's OS 9.2.2 was installed from an iMac G5 Tiger CD and the machine at home got it's OS 9.2.2 'dragged to it' from a backup of another OS 9.2.2 machine. NOTE: For some reason, I cannot boot to OS 9 on the latter machine. Back to the original question... Can I just boot back in Single User Mode and whack this OS 9 folder without causing any problems? Personally, I wouldn't care if it stayed visible. But in the end, this machine will be going to someone else who probably doesn't need the extra confusion of a second OS.
