Subject: Installing OS 9 after OSX?
Comment:

Hey!

I have used Mac OS X for some time now, and unfortinately I didnt bother installing classic before hand, so I only have OS X.

Unfortinately, I now need classic so I can run some older applications, but I dont have it installed! Can I install it so that I can run classic apps in OSX, or do I need to format, installing OS 9 before OSX??

You can just install it without reformatting.

I had the same problem. On the Installer
CD for Mac OS 9, just copy and paste the
Systems Folder to your OS X desktop and
you should be good to go...
