Hey Bill or anyone else! Can\'t find OS9

[Gary S]

I'm in the middle of partitioning my drive and installing X.2.1 and OS9.2.2 but I can't figure out where the OS9.2.2 install is.

I have 2 Power Mac G4 install disks for 10.2.1 and 4 Power Mac software install disks. On the software install disks it says "Mac OS9 and Mac OSX applications. Mac OS version
9.2.2 but I can't find it 9.2.2! I want to install 9.2.2 on a separate partition. I think you had a picture up on the board of where it was on the disk. You showed it being on the Power Mac G4 Install disk but I can't find the thing. Arrrg

Do I need to be booted into OS9 to see it?

TIA

[Scott]

In Apple's wisdom.. they won't let you point the OS9 installer anywhere. It simply gets installed on your OSX volume. You can install it then move it, or use an older OS9 installer CD to install OS 9. I really hate how Apple is mandataing to Mac users how they MUST set things up anymore. Oh how I miss the Apple that cared about it's users.

Scott,

That makes at least 2 of us.

Sorry I'm late Gary.

The Kennel Panic is out of my league (or knowledge) due to never having one yet ---- knock on head ----!

First off.
My machine was manufactured (or bought) last February of last year.
It came with separate OS cd installs plus the reinstalls etc blah blah.
My resent purchased machine was from the same batch and those cds are close to the same.
That picture you mentioned was from the OS 9.2.2. install CD.

Now I'm not really sure what cds you got with the machine.

However!

Scott is right on the money on Apple combining the OS's or cds.
I've seen those.

Maybe I got under the wire before Apple did its bit? I don't know.?.

See what some of the others have to say about this who has bought the newer machines.
Like Bruce F,Kelly,Kps.

Either way though Scotts suggestion (work around) is a tried and proven method.!.

It appears your biggest hurtle right now is getting that guy to say hey.
Listen to Paddy,Kps etc.

Gary. The Leader giveth and the Leader taketh away.  

If you had gotten the Software that originally came with that machine,

you'd have an OS 9.2.2 Install CD but you'd have a pre Jaguar Install CD.

You would have had to purchase Jag seperately. Maybe at a discount.

Instead they did you the favor of including Jag.

I suppose you are entitles to a $20 OS 9.x CD if that's not over.

See Mac OS 9.2 Fulfillment Program

IMO. If you have the Restore CDs. You should Partition,

from whatever CD you have that will Boot the machine,

then Install using the Restore Disks.

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42929

You can then Boot into the OS 9.x System and copy that to another Partition if you want.

The Leader still cares about you.

He's just trying to move people on to OS X and keep Apple in the black.

Kelly,

 

quote:IMO. If you have the Restore CDs. You should Partition,

I'm very confused.

The problem is that when I boot from the Jaguar CD or the one they sent me, 10.2.1. I can't partition! As soon as I get to the utilities to run the partitioning program I get a kernel panic and it asks me to reboot. It's an endless process.

I have the OS9.2.1 CD that came with Jaguar.

I'm going to try and call Apple.

I took the extra Ram out just to make sure it wasn't that.

I'm having the similar problems as this:

 Number one  #2
 number 3

Gary S.

Check your PM.

Count to ten from the middle twice in both directions. <gr>

[Gary S]

Bill,

Check your PM.          

I'm having trouble counting anymore.    

Thanks for the encouragment. You be a good guy.
