Re: [PLUG] OS 8.6 to 9 and X

Yes, you need OS 9 to run in classic mode.  It comes on the OS X install CDs.
You can also install OS X without OS 9, which disables classic mode.


OK. So we could upgrade from 8.6 to 9 even without installing 10 and without reinstalling applications?


Yes. OS 8.6, OS 9 and OS X all run on HFS+ partitions. I don't know
what the OS X install will do to the OS 8.6 system folder, but you
should be able to install 9/X without reformatting.



Oh, I thought 9 and 10 would need to be on seperate partitions or something.

I guess I'm going to learn about Macs one way or another. OS X makes that thought less distressing.
