Hi MOL experts,
I'm new to the list and MOL. I have a powerbood 17" with an 80GB HDD.
I have Debian on a 60GB partition and MacOS-X on a 20GB partition. I
never planned to use MacOS-X but have it there for those rare times when
one needs to run a Mac utility or something. I was also curious about
MacOS-X as it is BSD underneath the hood and thought that maybe it might
be worth running MacOS-X natively instead of Linux as most of the apps
that run on Linux are easily ported to MacOS-X.
Anyway, I have to run a Mac app that doesn't run in MacOS-X. Apparently
it runs in classic mode OK but I can't run it as I didn't install the
classic drivers when I formatted the MacOS-X partition (I never
envisaged wanting to run a MacOS9 program).
Q1) Can I install Classic mode drivers without reformatting my partiton
(off topic I guess) ?
Q2) Can MOL run classic mode apps. From what I've read MOL does not run
classic mode as it is a classic emulator in it's own right. True???
Q3) Can MOL run classic apps _without_ installing classic mode drivers
on the MacOS-X partion??? This would be nice.
Many thanks for any help, suggestions or pointers.
Regards,
Brendan Simon.
