>From what I have read on here over the last few months I have come to the
conclusion that there is something strange with Apples installers which
means you can't install anything while running.  I am also under the
impression that this isn't recommended.  Your best bet to install Mac OS 9
would be to boot from the CD and install Mac OS 9 that way and then
configure MoL under Linux.

It is important to note that you will need your original Linux Install CD
for reinstalling yaboot so you can boot back in to Linux.  You might also
want to think about the possibility of running Mac OS X now that Samuel has
got it working ;)
