| Upgrade (sic!) from OSX 10.3 to OS 9 |
Posted by: mvallance on 2013-10-23 05:57:33
Hi. I have a clamshell iBook Graphite and it's far too slow running OSX 10.3.
It runs OS 9 applications in Classic mode but
I would like to set up as a native OS 9 machine.
I have an original OS 9 CD-R so my question is: How do I do a clean install of OS 9 so I only have OS 9 on this iBook and no OS X ?
BTW - i love OSX Mavericks but I have a super MacBook Pro for that. I simply want to run AppleWorks, Netscape, QTVR, and Hyperstudio on my iBook.
Thank you in advance.

If you can boot from that CD, then you have the option to initialize the drive from Disk Utility. Then just follow the steps to install, it's really straight forward.

Ok.. let me see if I can indeed boot from the OS 9 CD.

If it runs 9 in classic mode then update it to 9.2.2 and then you should have the option to choose OS 9 in the startup disk menu.
As for the programs, you may not get the newest versions but they are available for what you have.
