Hello

Is it possible to add a Jaguar System folder to my iBook G4-800? I need to be able to boot in either Jaguar or Panther.

The reason? Some people in Macwindows.com say that Virtual PC will support USB if it is running 10.2 or less. My computer won't support OS 9 booting, and I would like to try this.

Any links to installation guides?

I would like to preserve all my files too.

Nope. The system no longer resides just inside /System, it's not as simple as having the folders side by side. In order to have two different systems on your disk, you'll need to partition it.

Rrrgh. Too much work. I will just get a PC and forget about Virtual PC.

You should be backing up any important data anyway. Just wipe your drive, partition it, then reinstall from your backup.
