So I just made a forum account on the site 'macos9lives.com'...yeah, I know what you're thinking. If you have an account then you get access to God's only MacOS 9 disk images. This is the only place I could find them online. I have an OS9 disc but it's for a select amount of Apple computers. I am trying to install MacOS9 on my PowerMac 4400/200. After downloading, I realize that the disk image is too large to fit on my 700MB CD, and I obviously cannot put it on a DVD since my Mac has no DVD-ROM drive. I tried to resize the image, however the smallest it could downsize it to was still over 700MB. Does anyone know of a small enough MacOS9.dmg that I can burn to a 700MB CD? I considered copying the system files to the disc, but I doubt that will make it bootable. I have about two CDs left and don't want to take chances. Anybody have a clue? I either need a solution or a .dmg that's not so large. Thanks.
 
I think images I have may help :apple: I have a 9.2 image that reports to be 670mb
