A couple of questions/comments. 1) Why do you need 9.2? 2) Yes, you can put classic and X both on the same partition. Obviously you need to use an HFS+ partition type for this. 3) Appleworks works fine from X. Works fine on 10. It even works on 10.4.9 on Intel Macs if you use the latest version (6.2.9). -- _Deirdre http://deirdre.net
