I am trying to setup classic for the first time in OS 10.3.2, and when I
copy the system folder from an os 9.2 CD, OS X will find it, and try to
launch it, but as soon as classic tries to start, inside class it states
that "this software will not run if copied from it's original media" and
all that is available is a reboot button.

I have tried searching google for an answer to this question, but there
doesn't seem to be any instructions on installing classic.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks.

BTW: I don't know if it makes any difference to know this, but I am
trying to install it on a 12" iBook 600 with 384 megs of ram.

Rather than copying over the System Folder, you should run the Install
on the OS 9.2 CD.... it cooperates with OS X, and won't mess up that
operating system.

Hmmm, I tried that... however when running the installer it starts to
load classic and I get stuck in that loop. I tried remove my existing
classic folder, but it says it is use and cannot be removed.

Boot from the OS 9.2.2 CD and install from there.

9.2.2. Is the last classic update which incorporates the two systems. You
can download it from apple's update site. There's also a workaround at
macosxhints.com.
