If so, my guess is that that's only with the new Blowhole G4s, which I understand insists upon having OS 9 on the same partition as OS X. But here's why I believe that not to be the case on previous models. I set up a dual 450 with separate partitions. One had 9.0.4 from the original discs that came with it. Then it took about half an hour to install OS X from the disc that came with my Quicksilver dual gig on another partition. It turned out that the OS X installer had updated 9.0.4 to 9.2.2, and it was still on a separate partition. Another piece of anecdotal evidence: I can see all the Extension icons at the bottom of the mini-screen while Classic is booting up. -- Nick Batzdorf 818/905-9101, fax -5434, cell 818/601-4874

But, OS X does install a Classic version on it's own partition. Go to the System Preferences and check to see which OS your using for classic. I'm willing to bet it will be the one that came with OS X, not the one on your other partition.

The context is with the (for want of a better word) boot manager... i.e., holding down the option key, for example, allows you to visually choose a boot volume - ..which is not possible unless they're on separate partitions. But it is possible to use other modifier keys: e.g., 'x' will boot into OS X if OS 9 was the default boot.... with regards, -- Lachlan Deck ldeck@...
