Re: [NTLK] Classic Install Question

To expand upon this, if you did use a Software Install or Restore CD/
DVD that came with a Mac (usually gray or white, not the black ones
with the metallic 'X' on it) then you'll want to look for the
"Software Restore" application in either /Applications, /Applications/
Installers (this would be my first guess, it's been a while though),
or /Applications/Utilities.

Run "Software Restore", insert the Software Restore CD/DVD, and
select Classic Support as the software you want to "restore".

Otherwise, as Martin suggests, it's probably easiest to just copy a
Mac OS 9.1 or 9.2.x System Folder from another Mac.

Sincerely,

Morgan Aldridge
