Minimum OS9 install for Oldworld and BootX?

You need a version of MacOS - use 8.6 if you have it because it's a smaller 
install.  To install YDL you need a partition just big enough to 
accommodate your chosen MacOS.  I would guess at about 300 Mbytes.

Choose the minimum install or a customised install.  You can use a 
customised MacOS installation and uncheck all the superfluous items eg 
QuickTime/QuickDraw 3D, Remote access, printer support etc.
