Why do this?
What's the advantage of having OS 9 on a disk image as opposed to a small partition? Speed? Stability? Performance?
Why do this?
To get rid of the small partition you have to reformat your harddisc. To ged rid of the disk image you just put it in the trashcan.
Why do this?
No particular advantage from a performance point of view (at least AFAIK); it just might make things a little more "ordered" (for example, no visible OS 9 System Folder at the roor of your hard drive)- and, above all, it feels somewhat "geeky" to have Classic load in a manner similar to Virtual PC (an entire OS on a disk image) and make it depend on OS X for it's "existence" (no autonomous booting)...
Why do this?
... Damn! Root, not "roor"... :-)
Why do this?
The best reason I can see for doing this is dealing with the installation of Carbon apps that want to set themselves up to run both in X and in 9. The Adobe apps are good examples. They put all of their application support stuff in your OS 9 Application Support folder, then put aliases in the OS X folder. If you were to delete your OS 9 system folder, you'd loose a lot of stuff. |
