DigiDesign, install

[John]

I am waiting for a 7200 rpm (60 GB) notebook drive to arrive, and (with 
dread) anticipate the long, painful reconstruction of my PB G4.

Is there anything I should keep in mind when I go to install OS 9, 
ProTools Free, etc...? I have done this before, but wanted to know if 
there was anything special I should do.

I want to be able to work on my computer, with files as large as 1.5GB, 
without running into errors about the file being too fragmented, hence 
the larger hard drive.  Also, is there any indication whether ProTools 
Free will be updated (or, more precisely, ProTools 6.1 will be stripped 
down) to run in OSX? I absolutely loath booting into OS 9, now that my 
workflow (excluding Quark, Pagemaker, Distiller) is all in OS X. Even 
the rare restart is painful to do.


Thanks!
