My iBook came with Jaguar and a set of cd's with 9.2 for classic mode. When I upgraded to Tiger, I did an erase and install which I found to perform better than archive and install or just updating. The thing is, now I can't load 9.2 from my cd's. The installer says something about it not working with this version of OS X.
Is there any way around this? I'd really like to have Classic so I can play some old games (like Oregon Trail).

Which means, just put any valid OS 9.2 System Folder on your hard drive. If you have another Mac copy its System Folder to your Mac.
