I have an iMac FP 15" with OS X Jag 10.2.4 installed on 100% of the drive. I would like to put OS9 on my drive.

How do I safely do this? I inserted the OS9 install CD and restarted holding down "c", but chickened out on the install, thinking it might delete my HDD and put just OS9 on it.

How can I do this?
Thanks-
coolbreeze

it wont replace anything. just install it. i did that as well. i did a completely minimal install except for adding quicktime. my entire OS9 is about 70MB. then i just put it on a disk image and deleted the folders. i just mount the OS9 image when I want to run classic.
