In Response To: Re: Aleph One is good, but I need OS 9 (Cheerful)
: "The system software on the startup disk only functions on the

: the fact I attempted to install OS 9 from an OS 9 CD might have fouled up
: the OS Classic application in Systems Preferences?
This is most likely the problem. For an installation to be succesfull it needs to be made with the installer application (which is itself Classic). If you just copy the System folder on the CD, that's the kind of error message you would get. Check your OS X install discs and see if there's an option for installing Classic.
