[G4] G4 Sawtooth/Tiger Install

[Skygram]

Willy,

I also own an old Sawtooth and in the early years you did need to install 9
before you installed X. This had to do with the use of the system folder at
that time. Now I simply install Tiger (Retail) directly without OS-9 as I no
longer use System 9 programs. Nor do I need to use Classic.
