I've been reading threads on this board about XPostFacto and reading the program's FAQs since I want to try to put 10.2 on my Kanga. However, I am unclear on whether I can just install OSX alongside OS9. Is it possible to have both system folders on the same drive and just switch between them as needed, or will I have to erase the hard drive and partition it?

Yes, you can. That is Apple's preferred method of installing OS X, and the only reasonable way to do it on a PowerBook. The "Startup Disk" Preference Pane in OS X, and the same-named Control Panel in OS 9 will let you pick the individual OS, even if they are on the same partition.

Exactly what I needed to know. Thanks. Another question...is there any compelling reason to install 10.3 or 10.4 over 10.2? Kangas apparently have some issues with 10.3, and the XPostFacto site doesn't indicate whether 10.4 is supported at all on Kanga.
