Here is where I am not sure, so someone else will need to answer this part. Someone must have done this already on your Mac.

You need to insert on of the installation DVDs (at least on Panther and Tiger) to and install it yourself. The size of my 'Applications (Mac OS 9)' folder is only about 170 MB on the disk, so go ahead and burn it to a CD in case you decide later that you want it back, or want something that was in the folder.Īlso note that Classic is not installed on a Mac when you get it new. I'd actually leave the folder itself, and get rid of the apps inside, if I were you. However, this does not uninstall Classic support, which will still function should you decide to go ahead and run a Classic app that ran under OS 9. You should be able to delete the second folder listed above without a problem if you are looking to conserve disk space. Applications (Mac OS 9): This contains all your OS 9 apps. Applications: This contains all your OS X apps.Ģ. If you look at the root of your hard disk, you may find two applications folders:ġ. This means that you can install and run OS 9 apps (some of which are installed with the Classic system), right from within OS X. OS X has a "Classic" environment, which is an OS 9 emulator. Feel free to correct me if I miss something or miss the mark entirely. Someone else might be able to answer this a little better, but I'm going to give it a try.
I'm sorry for what must seem like a real "newbie" question, but I've been away using Windows (out of necessity) and Linux (for pleasure). If OS9 can be "ditched" safely, can anyone recommend a "do and dont" method for me.

My original temptation was to buy Tiger and start from scratch - but given that the full Adobe creative suite, amongst others, is installed, I'd rather avoid that option just at the moment. I have already noticed from browsing my applications that OSX supports "older" software by running what I presume is OS9 emulation, so, to do this does OSX rely on there being OS9 already installed also and consequently do I need to leave the OS9 system folder alone - or can it be safety removed leaving just OSX - in other words, wil OSX "cope" within itself for the emulation. An here lies the nature of my question - I recently aquired a G4 500mhz system for a stupidly low price from my workplace, it has OSX installed on it, but also a OS9 system. I'm new, as you probably already realised, and I have only just returned to the mac "fold" after an absence since OS8.6 on an Imac. Hello to everyone, it's nice to find a little corner of the net so enthusiastically populated by mac fans.
