If I set up the internet connection in OSX, and I opened Internet exploder in OS9 classic, would the Internet settings be there from OSX? Or would I have to thru it all again? This goes for the rest of classic too, do settings in OSX stay in OS9 Classis mode?
Got a tip for us?

Let's say I bought a ibook with OSX...

As far as i know, Classic will rely on X settings-- TrueBlueEnvironment handles all of the network traffic and routes it to X's connection. But if you start up in 9, your settings will probably not carry over from X...

To the second question, and thereby answering the first, no. OS X's Preferences set is stored in a completely different place that OS 9's Preferences Set.
OS X stores a user's Preference set in <Hard Drive>/<user>/Library/Preferences
Whereas in OS 9 it was <Hard Drive>/System Folder/Preferences
Why would you wish to run OS ('s Ei through OS X? Seems odd to me.

You might want to check the tech specs again -- ALL iBooks and eMacs can boot into OS 9 (though not all of them come with an OS 9 disk, SuperDrive eMacs).
Yes, Steve changed his mind on the revamps killing OS 9 because of the whining education customers. Thus no DDR on these updated machines.
I have a 900 mhz ibook, and the new model can boot in to 9. It comes preinstalled, but do not come with an OS 9 install disk. Which seems odd to me...

Like i said, despite the two OS's not getting along or relying on the same information, I think the Classic construct, what lets Classic run as a program rather than a machine-controlling OS, routes Classic TCP/IP traffic to X's.
Anyone want to try it? install Classic without changing any settings, then run Explorer through classic... Personally, I did this some months ago and programs in Classic can access the internet just fine... I'm just not 100% sure I didn't fiddle with it to make it work...

It works fine, I just did it.
And I know it works with both dial-up and wireless so everything is good, as long as it is performed in classic. It even keeps your home-page set in preferences.
PS. I have never fiddled with the preferences of OS 9 on this computer.

when running classic, it uses X's network prefs, when booting into os9, you have to set them up - thats the case with my 6month old iBook. Did that already get said, didn't really understand some of the posts previous to this
I've got the older 800 MHz iBook, and OS 9 is on a CD called Software Restore 1. But the CD isn't bootable, you need to have X installed first, then run the installer on the Restore CD.
