#HOW TO MOUNT AN IMAGE ON MAC OS 9 EMULATOR INSTALL#

Software doesn't necessarily require 'genuine media' like floppy disks in the case of most the software mentioned here, so it can be freely installed from folders instead of disks, as long as the sources are the same as the Installer expects: for instance, AppleShare Workstation 3.5 expects a source directory of 'AppleShare Workstation' not 'untitled folder'.

There are a couple of ways around this: use a RAM disk either as the boot volume or to store the installation content copy the media onto a floppy disk use mounted disk images (System 7+) or install it over the network by using the server computer as another installation source. System 6 and System 7 until Mac OS 9 cannot certain install system software upgrades (like NSI 1.5.1, AppleShare WS 3.5, et cetera) on to the startup volume where the install media is located in the same place as the destination, although there are certain exceptions to the rule. The reason is certain installers make additions or changes to the System file which are required for the requisite software to work correctly. For instance, if you just drop AppleShare Client 3.7.4 right into the Extensions folder and reboot, it'll bomb before it loads the control panels while booting.

Note that if any software has an Installer, use it - otherwise there is an increased risk of bombs and crashes. We start by going over the procedures to install the System software, then this page moves on to other topics of interest. This supplemental addition to the Guide is here for more information about other vintage Mac activities and details that can be of use to almost any Mac user.
