Installation Woes with OSX
Hello everyone. Usually I would be able to troubleshoot this simple issue myself but just dont know where I gone wrong.
heres the low down. I sold my friend my old G4 with OSX.2 and all the original software etc but now he wants to be able to run classic apps, but the problem is classic isnt installed.
What do I have to do to fix this? These are the disks hes got:
Original Powermac G4 Install/Restore Disk (os9 only)
OS9.1 with Shirlock 2 disk
OSX.1 Box with install disks etc
OSX.2 Box with (2) install disks
Whats the deal: Just reinstall OSX.1 and then update to OSX.2?
Does OSX.1 have classic in one of its install packages???
Note: Doing fresh install: Not an upgrade from 9 to X
Cheers and thanks for your help. I know this is porbably simple?

Put the OS9 cd in. Restart holding the "c" key down. This will boot you into OS9 off the cd.
Then open the OS9 installed from the cd.
Simple as that.

Fantastic thanks Xidius - I knew it was somewhat simple! To think that I have done it 3 times prior!
Cheers
