Either delete them, or simply deactivate them. On that page, you can follow the instructions that Bob Levitus has provided to remove unneeded control panels and extensions. Oh - and don't worry about having to manually mount the OS 9 startup disk image - it does it on it's own every time you want to run Classic now. Your system will now boot from the disk image and you can stop here if you want. You can find the pertinent system updates there as well. If you do not already have the software updates downloaded, visit this page on Apple's site and download them.Īlso, if you have purchased an OWC Mercury FireWire drive since June, we have been including all recent Apple system updates in a shareware/freeware package on all OWC Mercury FireWire drives.
MAC OS 9.1 DMG MAC OS
Bring your Mac OS 9 installation up to date completely if possible, as it will save you headaches in the future. Update your Mac OS 9.2.1 installation on the disk image using previously downloaded system update files. If asked, update the installation with Classic specific updates. Notice that Classic seems to load quicker than it did before (most likely). Select the 9.2.2 image file you just installed Mac OS 9.2.1 onto. Harry's original email is available to read by clicking here. Oh, and how about speeding Classic startup time almost 300%? :>) The major upside is the ability to create a customized installation of Mac OS 9 to your liking, and move it to multiple computers, or to easily back up your installation. There are both upsides and downsides to this - the major downside is that you no longer have a bootable installation of Mac OS 9 on your hard drive. Harry's idea is to use a Disk Image (.dmg) file to store an installation of Mac OS 9.2.2 instead of your hard drive.
MAC OS 9.1 DMG HOW TO
I recently received a very interesting email from Harry Zink - Harry had a great idea on how to reduce the "clutter" that having Mac OS X.x and Mac OS 9 installed on the same partition can cause. You can reach him at Harry reviewed one of the very first Newer Technology NuPowr G4 Pismo upgrades we sold - you can view that review by clicking here. Harry lives with his dog, Vladi, in Los Angeles, CA. If it involves Windows, you're on your own. He loves proving 'it can't be done' statements wrong - so of it involves a Mac, Harry's your man.
