Here's how to mount the .DMG files on the OSX restore disks (tested on eMac and G4) so you can access individual programs. It's relativly simple:
- Once installed and restarted, insert the first software restore CD.
- Open Terminal
- Enter: cd "/Volumes/Restore CD/.images�
- Bring up file list (ls command)
- Mount the OS9 disk image (file should be OS9General.dmg) by typing open ./OS9General.dmg
- Open the mounted disk in finder, and copy the files across to the OS 9 partition.
Note: this is not my work, but I've used it for most of the apps on the installation CD's, including OS9. The example is for unpacking OS9, but it works for all apps. The original work for this hint was from a mailing list.
