Title: G4 Cube Mac OS 9 Lives (Unusual Install)
Post by: rjnicko93 on December 26, 2020, 08:13:18 AM

Hi All,

New to the forum just got my G4 cube setup after making some space for it on my desk. I installed Mac OS 9.2.2 Lives to it like I've done to my graphite DV edition previously, but for some reason loads of add on apps like classilla and others which allow you to mount disk images are missing and never installed. I have checked the install several times and it actually says these are installing, but they never show up in the applications folder.

Confused as my iMac G3 DV installed these apps as part of the OS install without much issue.

Thanks

Ryan

I'm not sure what install you are using... on a cube. try this universal 9.2.2

This should have all the stuff Apple released and no "extra" content, you can install any other apps after :)

I agree, I think best practice must be to use the Universal 9.2.2 installer on anything that shipped with MacOS 9 back in the day.
