Os 8.6

Hi all I have just updated my mac to 10.4.4 which does not come with classic .
I was wondering if it is possible to install my original 8.6 for classic then use updaters to get it to 9 . Has anyone tried this ?

8.6 will not run as Classic. It will only run as a bootable system via the Startup Disk System Preference. You need to buy Mac OS 9.1 or later retail edition of 9 (ones that come with other Macs will not work, and ones marked Update will not work) if you want to use Classic on a machine which came with 8.6. If 8.6 is on the same hard disk partition (if you haven't partitioned your drive, it is on the same partition) as Mac OS X, switching back to Mac OS X from 8.6 is done by holding the X key. Since 10.2 Mac OS 9 was not included with Mac OS X. Rather only the application program which seeks out a Mac OS 9.1 or higher version of 9 system folder on your machine called Classic will run in Mac OS X. If it can't find a Mac OS 9.1 or higher version of 9 system folder on your machine to run Classic, it won't run Classic.
