Well, I'll be...
Hot damn it worked! Now I can have multiple Classic configurations to ease loading time and get rid of the partitions I have! Great tip! Almost feels like Virtual PC; now I just need to figure out an AppleScript which will make the image unmount automatically after classic shutdown!
Well, I'll be...
Sounds easy enough...
Place an alias in the image's Shutdown Items folder, pointing to a script outside the image, containing more or less:
Hope this helps
Re: Well, I'll be...
Great idea! an alias to this script works:
tell application "Finder" repeat while exists process "Classic Support" --'zippity-doo-dah', 'nada', do nothing end repeat --the gig is up, close up shop eject disk "OS Neuf" end tell Here is an explanation of why the disk image mounts automatically, quoting Apple's technote tn2053 - Mac OS X 10.2 —a geeky list of bug fixes and new features: "aliases to mounted disk images volumes now reference the .img file. As a result, the disk image will be mounted when the alias is resolved."
Well, I'll be...
One Question :

Jelloman wrote that Classic almost feels like Virtual PC after loading it onto a disk image. Well, Is there any way to get Classic to run in a window rather than consuming the entire desktop?

No, not at all -- it used to exist in very early OS X versions, but not since pre Public Beta. And the code to do it is gone, apparently, not just disabled. |
