I am in the process of upgrading two Mac labs to Jaguar in a college setting(18 G-4 macs in one lab and 17 G-3 macs in the second lab). We are trying to get through this during the winter break and so far so good - but...
I have read many of the posts to this site and came across a few that suggested installing OS9 before OSX. We thought we had our "pure machine" (G-4) almost ready, but we did not follow this sequence. So far we have most of our native/carbon apps loaded with little or no problems (knock on wood). We have yet to load any of the classic apps (Quark 4.x, and other support for periphials needed for a graphics lab).
We started the process with erasing the drive, installing OSX, then OS9.2. Then we began the process of loading software, testing printing, fonts. Like I said-little or no problems yet...
We were going to do a disk image of the "pure machine" once it is set up just the way we like it. Should we start over with our pure one and redo the sequence?
If anyone can offer assistance, advice or other-I look forward to hearing from you.
