Could send me a list of the extensions to turn off?
No. But I can give you some general advice on the issue and let you test and
measure it for yourself:
What you do is launch classic, then go to the extensions manager and create
a new set of extensions for using classic in Mac OS X. Start with the base
9.2 extension set turning off any firewire, usb, quicktime, etc. control
panels and extensions. What you want to do is turn off anything that is
already handled by Mac OS X's system resources.
If you have specific extensions for your Applications such as the ones that
Microsoft puts in to run Word, you will have to leave those extensions
turned on. Once you are done, hit the restart button in the extensions
manager control panel and relaunch classic.
If you have turned off anything you need, the computer will complain so
simply turn what ever it requests back on and relaunch classic - use the
scientific test and measure to get the perfect extension set for your use.
In addition, some applications like DreamWeaver for classic require that you
leave certain extension and such on. For instance DreamWeaver needed the
Classic QTLib file on, so we turned it on and then DreamWeaver was able to
launch.
Other things that you should remember:
If you were in Mac OS 9 last time you had your computer running and shut
down but wish to restart in Mac OS X, hold the command + x key down
immediately after the computer chimes but before the happy Mac. It will
think about your request and then chime again. When it chimes the second
time you can let up on the key combination and it will boot into X.
Lastly if you have a PCI card that causes a kernel panic in X, there is an
easy fix (Don't freak out like me). Simply shut the computer down with the
power switch (holding it in until the computer turns off. Then remove the
card. Then restart the computer and if the card was the causality of the
kernel panic, your problem will be solved!
Hope this helps.
My best,
