For some unknown reason my 9.21 Classic became unrecognised so I decided to re-install it. Since I had the original 10.0 CD set, I had to first delete the System Folder (9.1 will not install on top of 9.21), then install 9.1 and then run the 9.21 updater. Since then I frequently get a...

OK, so I have a big huge useless Pismo Powerbook now. The story (in brief): I installed Yellow Dog Linux on my Powerbook, wiping the hard drive and starting from scratch. Worked just fine. Realizing I needed a second partition to reinstall OSX I booted from my OS9 CD and used the drive...

I've been running OS X (it's 10.1.1) here for a couple months and Apple sure has given me a good reason to abandon OS 9 (sarcastic)! My problem is that when I boot into my OS 9 drive (it's 9.2.1) and then reboot back into X when I'm done, I have to reinstall OS X! This prevents me from doing the...
