Install Mac OS 9 From Tiger DVD?

I did a clean install of Tiger and (like an idiot) I specifically unchecked the "Install Mac OS 9" button to save a few gigs of hard drive space because I figured I would never ever need OS 9 compatability...but now I do.



I cannot figure out how to install OS 9 without reinstalling everything. I can't figure it out with either the Panther CD or the Tiger DVD.



Any ideas?

    I'm sure OS 9 isn't included with Tiger but if it's on your DVD then just put the DVD in and choose the "Install Bundled Software Only" package. OS 9 is included with all computers so you could just use that CD to install it.

    There is a Classic package on the DVD.

    That new 9 install is nice and clean [read: faster] as well -- no "social disease" clutter or extension bloat to worry about.
