Nothing that critical. As was pointed earlier, OSX can happily reside on 
the same partition with multiple other OS's at the same time.  Since you 
cannot boot into 9.2 on an unsupported mac unless you want to also do an 
XPF type hack for it, (see http://www.os9forever.com) put the OS X  and 
9.2 for classic on one partition, put 9.1 on it's own for booting 
purposes. Virtual PC is not huge space hog and doesn't need it's own 
separate partition unless you plan on using a lot of windoze stuff. Then 
a separate partition has some benefit , from the windoze trouble 
shooting standpoint.

Don't know Silverlining at all. Apple drive set up is a god one, and 
free. I have had very poor luck with Anubis, I would only use it on the 
HD of someone I don't like. Personally I like InTechs HDST or Apple's 
drive set up. One of those has met every HD formatting need I have 
encountered.

Just my experience. Someone else may have had great luck with Anubis.
