Unused files when not running under OSX
« on: July 03, 2019, 07:45:48 AM »
Which are the files in the System Folder that may be removed if I never run OS 9 under OSX?

not much, eventually there 2-3 files in the systems root like "carbon prefs" or something. but beside that OSX is not writing stuff into it. (cant boot my macs right now.)

but there is a lot which can be removed for a bluebox-only system folder. :)

I mean: I removed OSX, thus I run OS 9 always by booting directly into OS 9.
Now there are several files that end with "Classic" and so and I wonder what may be deleted.
There is also a "Mac OS ROM" file, and I don't see why ROM should be in a file if I have it in a ROM chip.

It's 3 files that start with "Classic". I also removed "Login". Anything else that I may remove?

no, not in the system folder.

but of course you will have gazillions of insivible .DStore files all over on your disk, and eventually 32 bit icons of only bigsize. :)
