mike09 Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 i just re-installed panther on my powerbook but 9.2 classic didnt install and when i try and install it manually from the disk i get error messages. would it be wise to just install jaguar then install panther on top? thanks in advance.

am_fek Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Put in the Software Restore disc that came with your Powerbook, and run "Install Applications & Classic Support". It will run an installer, wait for it to run and make sure you only choose "Classic" when it gives you a list of options for what to install.

NeoMayhem Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Show hidden files, and browse the DVD, there is a hidden folder with the classic files in it (It might be a compressed DMG files) just open that and copy the data to / Then open the classic prefpane, and it will find the folders you copied. Press start classic and it will tell you your folders need updating. Press OK, and it will work :p Dont you love a drag and drop OS? After panther 'updates' classic you can even set your computer to load OS 9 instead X and it will work just like a real install :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
