Tiger and VLAN problem

I bought a new MacBook Pro a few weeks ago. It is working well in my house. But I tried to connect this macbook to our company's intranet in my office, it's network performance is extremely low. So, I gather some tcpdump data and I found that the VLAN tag is coming into my macbook (such as 713, 709 as vlan id). My company uses the IP phone and support guys said that VLAN tag behaviour is normal thing. Actually, in windows system, there was no problem.
I found the increasing Input error count in output of netstat -in output also. I think, this increasing input error count is related to VLAN tag.
I looked into the tcpdump output and sometimes there is no VLAN tag in the packet from switch, and then, those packets seem to be permitted because the packet flow shows that tiger sent legal next packet, not retransmission.
So, I think I have two options to bypass this situation...
1. If possible, strip off VLAN tags regardless of VLAN id because vlan id is not important in this case. But I have no idea how to do it.
2. If possible, give the VLAN ID to my ethernet adapter such as 709, 713 etc. Also, I don't know how to do it.
Can anybody help me? Thanks in advance...

TinkerTool (free) can make invisible files visible: click on 'Finder' in the toolbar and then check 'Show hidden and system files' and click the button to relaunch the Finder. /usr and /var at at the root level of your hard disk, if I remember correctly.
*Warning: be very careful*. Do not delete or tamper with any file unless you are quite clear what it is. Deleting the wrong file could seriously damage your System.
When you have finished, be sure to uncheck that checkbox and relaunch the Finder again to hide the invisible files.

Just installed Tiger and having problems

I just installed 10.4.3 with an Archive and Install. Since then I have had a host of problems and tried a variety of fixes. Some have worked yet in general the machine freezes or slows down to an incredibly slow pace. And then I have to restart.
What I have done:
Initial Archive and Install
* Office 2004 products not working, restart cpu, get blue screen
* Start up in Safe mode and get rid of MIcrosoft Office Database Daemon in Start-up Items
* Computer restarts but still sluggish have to Force Quit
Other problems:
Printing to Epson Printer
* Get a message "the printer "(null)" could not be found in your list of printers.
I don't have a printer "(null)"
FYI - I am printing via Airport and have added the printer to the list and picked the driver.
I switched to Mail and ical because of the Entourage problems.
* Mail seems slow and when I am loading a simple no attachment message, I get a spinning wheel.
* Mail Help window has disappeared.
Safari/Firefox
* Slower loading than 10.3.9. Spinning Wheel.
What I have tried:
* Fixed permissions
* Booted from the Tiger disk and repaired the disk. No repairs were done.
Each of these steps solved the problems immediately but as soon as I start multitasking between mail, Office 2004, Safari everything is slow and often ends up Force Quitting at least on program.
What would you do next?
1. Should I reinstall 10.4.3 from the disk with a Basic install? And then upgrade to 10.4.6 to see if that will fix my problems?
2. Or should I do an Erase and Install? (which I am trying to avoid?)
The majority my work is done in email and Office products. Thanks in advance for any help or advice that will get me out of this quandary.

First see if upgrading Office to the latest release fixes issues. If not, verify that Spotlight has finished indexing by seeing if opening the Spotlight menu reveals that it is indexing or not. If it isn't finished indexing, wait for it to finish.
If that does not solve issues, see this article on fixing font issues. Many have had trouble with whose fonts aren't working right:

Wireless and vlan problem

Hello there
This is trickier than i thought:
I have purchased recently a brand new cisco 887w and my main issue is that none of the devices i have can communicate each other via wireless on the same vlan, ssid ect. ONLY.. though they do not have problem with the internet At first I thought that something had do with my personal configuration but after making few tweaks here and there I ended up nowhere. So I decided to rollback to the default configuration that comes via cisco express to see if i missed anything. To my surprise, again devices on the network could not ping and communicate each other! I don’t want to think the worst but I hope this isn’t hardware or IOS issue. Hopefully simple command(s) will solve the problem.
I have no probs with wired connection
Here’s the main configuration that comes with cisco express
Thanx in advance

Alex did you try what I wrote in one of my first posts?
"Now... that is configured on the AP.
However there are other stuff that might affect traffic between client. For example for multicast traffic, or as a real example, I have a 1240 on my house and for sharing files from my PC to my PS3 I need to use "no ip igmp snooping" on the AP..."
I have the same problem after I received my PS3...
I need to to:
telnet the AP
and do
config t
no ip igmp snooping
do wr
Reload the PS3 and use wireless only and reconnect with your computer and then DISABLE any firewall on your PC..
I have a PS3 connected to a 1242 AP (abg) actually using G only SSID with WPA2
I didnt disable aironet extensions, so dont worry about that I have it working with it.
Since you are having a N radio that could make a difference however youare been connected ! and traffic is flowing well.. except for that command that basically drops the multicast packets which are needed from communication between PS3 and media server...
Try it and let me know...
If you need to understand this feature take a look at this information from the configuration guide:
Note If there is no multicast router for processing IGMP query and response from the host, it is mandatory that no ip igmp snooping be configured on the access point. When IGMP snooping is enabled, all multicast group traffic must send IGMP query and response. If an IGMP query or response is not detected, all multicast traffic for that group is dropped.

Oracle VM 3.1.1 and VLAN problem.

Hi There
We got two vlans, 10 and 11. 10 is used for our "Server Management" and 11 is used for "Cluster heartbeat" and "Live Migrate".
So, when I added ovs1(the fist server), it discover the following:
192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.0-vpg
Then I add the second vlan 11 and my "networks" look like this:
192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.0-vpg
10.0.0.0 - 10.0.0.0-vpg
Everything is still fine, I added the second server (ovs2) last night to the pool. I did some live migrations and test on the pool.
This morning when I wanted to do a live migration OVMM complained that it is not in the same network group.
So this is what I found under "vlan groups:
192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.0-vpg
10.0.0.0 - 10.0.0.0-vpg
0004fb00002500005ea963abcbaf0a1d
So it seems that OVMM does not add it to the 192.168.1.0-vpg group ? And when I do a "rediscover" on ovs2, OVMM just create a new random number with that IP in.
Any ideas... Do I need to log an SR ?

Nardus

Hi There
I don't know if this is the right way but it did solve the issue for me.
I have compared files in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts directory and discovered that there was some files missing. The files that you need to look for is meta-bond0 and meta-vlan11. It seems that this files is been created when a server is installed or added to a pool and for some reason the meta-vlan* file is not created. This was on the server that wasn't adding the correct network. I made sure the meta-* files was the same on all my server, this might be different for your setup. After adding the missing meta-* file, I did need to remove the server from the pool and rediscover it.
Hope it helps.

Reinstalled tiger and have problems now

I erased the hard drive and reinstalled Tiger 10.4.6 on my MacBookPro. I can't get any of my files to go from my external hard drive to my laptop. They'll transfer, but as soon as I unplug my external and restart my laptop, they're gone. Anybody have any suggestions as to what I should do? I'm at my wits end and regretting wiping the hard drive fully, even though I know its too late to change it.
Also, now that I reinstalled the OS, do what system updates should I do (such as Combo updates and the such)?
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi mango815;
You said; "They'll transfer, but as soon as I unplug my external and restart my laptop, they're gone.
Exactly how are you trying do these transfers? More details would be helpful in order for us to give you any possible solutions.

VLAN problems with SG200-8P and Cisco ASA 5505 (Sec Plus license)

Hi, I've been pulling my hair out trying to get simple vlan trunking working between these devices.
Basically, no clients on VLAN 99 (guest) will receive DHCP ip addresses when plugged into the SG200. I have the SG200<>ASA VLAN trunk configured correctly, as I know it, and I've tried numerous variations (set trunk as general tag/untagged, etc., set the ap port to general tag/untag, etc). Both AP's work properly when connected to the ASA e0/3 port but either will only pull the "inside" VLAN dhcp address when connected to the SG200 switch
VLAN 1 - inside (has separate dhcp scope assigned by ASA)
VLAN 99 - guest (has separate dhcp scope assigned by ASA)
SG200
purpose
ASA 5505 (Sec Plus license)
purpose
g2
Trunk 1UP,99T
Ubiquiti AP (VLAN 1 works, VLAN 99 does not
g3
Access port 99T
vlan 99 does not work
g8
Trunk 1UP, 99T
< Trunk between switch and ASA >
Int e0/2
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,99
switchport trunk native vlan 1
switchport mode trunk
Int e0/3
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,99
switchport trunk native vlan 1
switchport mode trunk
Second ubiquiti AP
Both VLAN 1 and VLAN 99 clients work properly

Frustrated - yes. Confused - maybe not as much, but I could have put some more effort into the overall picture.
There are two VLANs (1 - native) and (99 - guest). There is a trunk port between the SG200 and the ASA configured as 1-untagged 99 - tagged.
No clients connected to the SG200 on VLAN 99 are able to access the ASA VLAN 99 using either a static VLAN IP address or DHCP. The problem occurs whether I configure the SG200 with an access port 99-tagged or Trunk port 1UP, 99T or general port 1U, 99UP or any combination thereof.
Anything connected to the SG200 on the native VLAN works properly.
Anything connected to the ASA VLANs (1 or 99) works properly
I have not yet tried to see what the switch is doing with the VLAN tags but I suspect I have some mismatch with the Linksys/Cisco SG200 way of setting up a VLAN and how traditional Cisco switches work.
I was hoping someone with a working SG200 - Cisco ASA setup could share their port/trunk/VLAN settings or perhaps point me in the right direction.
SG200 g2 - trunk port (1UP, 99T) -- Access Point
SG200 g2 - access port (99U)
SG200 g8 - trunk port (1UP, 99T) connected to ASA5505 e0/3
ASA5505 e0/3 (switchport trunk allowed vlan 1,99, switchport trunk native vlan 1, switchport mode trunk)

Bella Keyboard problem w/Tiger and 5.0

Anyone else having problems with their Bella Keyboard since switching to Tiger and FCP 5? Have their 5102 keyboard and have updated their latest driver. My problem is the jog wheel (inside one) doesn't work properly. Thanks, Richard

It looks like the problem will not go away, even with the latest update. That is, when you rotate the inner wheel and stop, the playhead keeps moving for a couple of seconds or more.

HP P1006 LaserJet printer and G4 Tiger computer - printing problems

Help. I bought a new HP P1006 LaserJet printer for a friend that has a G4 Computer that is running Tiger (10.4.11). I set everything up. I tried to print "one" page, to make sure all was well. Well...all was NOT well. It took nearly 4-5 minutes to print the page with just lines of text from a Word document. Does anyone know what could be wrong. I selected to print one page, then hit the print button. Then the computer started "thinking" and making all kinds of "thinking noises". Eventually it printed the page, but it too FOREVER.
I have three HP LaserJet printers. Two are working off another G4 running Tiger, and the other is working off a G5 and a Mac Mini Intel. When I print, it prints within seconds.
Please help me.

May be something on these links.

Imac G% tiger and Front Row Problem

Front Row do not recognize my Itunes library (tv shows, music etc...)
How can I make it work
I have Tiger and Imac g5(isisght)
Thanks

Is your profile correct? Is there a reason you're still running Mac OS X 10.4.6? I think you'll need to make sure your iLife applications and iTunes are up-to-date as well as Mac OS X for everything to work correctly together. Mac OS X can be updated to 10.4.11, iTunes can be updated to 7.6.1 and QuickTime can be updated to 7.4.5 all for free. Which version of iLife do you have? '06 or '08? You'll need to make sure you have the most recent versions of iPhoto as well...

Can I run Tiger and Leopard on the same computer

Hi folks.
I've been meaning to install Leopard for ages but have never got round to it (I bought the retail box when it first came out). I have upgraded my RAM to 2GB and my hard drive to 320GB with no problems.
My upgraded hard drive has been partitioned into 2 equal parts of 160GB. These appear on desktop as Mackintosh HD1 and HD2. HD1 is the disk with all my files, music, OS etc and HD2 is empty
I have 2 bootable clones of my present system - one is on a 160GB external and the other is the original 80GB HD that I replaced.
My question is this - can I install Leopard on to my 160GB external HD, then clone it on to the empty HD2. If I do this would I be able to run both Tiger and Leopard on the same Macbook?
Is there any problems with this plan? Would I be able to transfer between the 2 OS and how do I install Leopard on the external drive. Is it just a case of inserting the Leopard DVD and choose the external drive as the target?
As usual thanks in advance

# Original Tiger in the internal HD, New Leopard in the external HD.
# New Leopard in the internal, Legacy cloned Tiger in the external.
# Split internal, one partition with Tiger, another with Leopard.
Leopard is backwardly compatible with older Macs, just make sure yours fulfills the minimum system requirements, both use the same filesystem format, so each can see the other. You can't run both at the same time, unless you purchase the server version of Leopard and run it virtualized. 99.9% of Firewire external HD's are bootable, some USB's are bootable but have to test first. You can choose which system to boot from by pressing the Option key at boot time, before the chime. Just make sure the external HDD is plugged in and turned on if that's where you want to boot from.
When I migrated my PBG4 from Panther to Tiger, got an external FW HDD, cloned Panther onto it, upgraded using Archive and Install, cleaned up, customized and tested it. When I was satisfied all was ok, cloned the original Panther onto another partition of the external HDD, wiped and tested for failure the internal HDD, then cloned the known good and tested Tiger into it. Only thing that died along the way was my old and ancient Photoshop v2.x, that refused to run on Tiger.

How do I do a Clean install of Tiger and Classic?

My G4 came with Jaguar. OS 9 was part of the complete installation, that you could install or choose not to install. My computer has been having a lot of issues lately and I think that a clean install would be a good idea, especially, since I used an upgrade to install Panther and then installed Tiger on top of Panther. I want to install classic and Tiger. How do I do this properly? Thanks

I plan to back up my personal files and any
downloaded software I have.
Amazing that. You've told us that numerous times, but
you've failed to provide us with information on
HOW you're going to do this. That is, please
explain WHAT you're using for the backup and
WHERE you're planning on using to store the
backup.
All Power Macs come with the capability of burning CD's today. Mine can also burn DVD's, so backing up MY files is NOT a problem. I just can't clone my whole drive. Now, I'm not sure how this is pertinent in answering my question about how to properly do a clean install of Tiger and be able to install Classic. My son however, just told me he thinks that all I need to do is to clean-install Tiger. Then, insert the installation CD with classic on it that came with my computer. Find the invisible file, which is a disk image and drag the contents of the disk image to my computer. If anyone can tell me if this is correct, I would appreciate it.

Tiger/Panther install problems - won't boot from Tiger DVD or Panther CD

My Mum has an iMac G3 CRT, running at 500MHz, with 1GB RAM, a 20GB HD, & a slot-loading internal CD-RW.
The iMac in question is the model described here: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/stats/imac500indigo.html
She only uses the machine for email & web browsing, but because it runs OS 9, it won't run a modern web browser (it's stuck on Internet Explorer 5.1.7) so lots of websites don't load properly or work at all. This is fair enough as IE for the Mac hasn't been updated since 2001.
My idea was to upgrade the machine from OS 9.2.2 to (ideally) 10.4.11, or failing that, 10.3.9, which would then let her use the current version of Safari, or possibly even Firefox. (Any thoughts on which would be easier for a currently IE-using technically-challenged pensioner would be welcome, although I prefer Safari myself, despite its shortcomings).
The iMac only had it's original 128MB of RAM until recently, but I persuaded her that it would be a good idea to spend 70-odd Pounds on 1GB of RAM so that OS X could not only be installed (which would let a modern browser be used) but would run at a useable speed. The minimum requirement for Panther is 128MB of RAM, but I suspected that it would run like treacle on a 128MB G3, and I was hoping to go for Tiger anyway, which requires 256MB.
As Tiger comes on a DVD (I have the retail/generic version) and the iMac has no DVD drive, I borrowed a friends external LaCie FireWire DVD-RW drive (the Porsche styled one). The DVD mounted first time, and the Startup Disk control panel let me select it.
When I restarted, I got the initial OS X pale grey screen with the dark grey Apple logo in the centre, with the spinning circle thing below, but after a minute or so, I could hear the DVD stop spinning in the drive, and a few seconds later the dark grey Apple logo changed into a dark grey "circle with a line through it" logo, with the normal circle thing still spinning below. This is how things stayed for many minutes, so I just restarted with the external drive off, and eventually got back to a normal 9.2.2 boot-up.
Next I tried running the "Mac OS X Install" application on the Tiger DVD from within 9.2.2. This started and came up with a big Tiger logo screen with a button labelled "Restart". Clicking it brought up an OS 9 error dialogue though, which said something along the lines of "the Tiger DVD cannot be selected as the startup disk" with a number 2 in brackets at the end of the error message - like this: (2)
This error occurs both if I select the Tiger DVD in the Startup Disk control panel prior to running the "Mac OS X Install" application, or if I select the internal hard disk. I know the DVD isn't faulty, as I used it to successfully boot my own Mac (a Power Mac G4 Mirror Drive Doors) just the other day, in order to repair permissions on the startup disk.
At this point I gave up on Tiger and tried to use the first of 3 Panther CDs that I have. These 3 CDs are burnt copies that came with my own Mac and contain version 10.3.2.
The CD refused to be selectable in the Startup Disk control panel. It's icon was greyed out, and so I couldn't boot from it. I tried running the "Install Mac OS X" application on the CD from within OS 9, but got the same error with the 2 in brackets when I clicked the "Restart" button, just like with the Tiger DVD.
Initially, I suspected that these Panther discs might be machine-specific, rather than the retail/generic version, because of the first CD being greyed-out in the Startup Disk control panel, but then the error dialogue that matched the one I got when I tried the Tiger DVD makes me think that my Panther CDs might be generic after all. Examining the first CD on my own Mac, it appears to be generic, but I'm not 100% sure, as the CDs are copies and as such don't have the usual identifying information on the labels. There are no machine-specific files that I can find on the first CD, which is dated January 9th 2004.
Various websites mention that when Tiger was current, Apple would swap a retail copy of the DVD for a set of CDs. I've looked on eBay but not been able to find any. This doesn't surprise me though, as there will be very few copies of Tiger on CD out there, and even fewer copies that people would want to sell.
There are a few retail copies of Panther available on CD, but if my current burnt copies of these discs are in fact generic, then buying a new set would make no difference. Besides, I'd prefer to use Tiger.
The Tiger minimum requirements (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1514) say:
"To use Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, your Macintosh needs: DVD drive (DVD-ROM), Combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) or SuperDrive (DVD-R) for installation"
What it doesn't say though, is whether the DVD drive has to be an internal one with Apple firmware/modifications, or whether an external 3rd party one will do. However, I know from various websites that it's possible to load Tiger onto this sort of Mac, and sometimes even older non-FireWire Macs, despite what the minimum system requirements say.
If anyone has any suggestions I'd be much obliged!
Thanks.

The problem is now solved, but I'm not sure how I managed it, unfortunately.
Having read the article at http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=75430, I checked both my Tiger DVD and my first Panther CD, and neither had the firmware updater on them, despite what the article said, so I downloaded it. However I was sure I'd applied a firmware update to the iMac a long time ago, and the 4.1.9 version number seemed familiar.
When I checked, I had in fact already applied the firmware update a few years ago!
I tried running the "Mac OS X Install" application on the Tiger DVD from within 9.2.2 again, and got the same error message as before. I was wrong about the error code though. It was minus 2 in brackets, not 2 in brackets.
The full text of the error message is:
An error occurred.
"Startup Disk was unable to select the
install CD as the startup disk. (-2)"
I tried selecting the DVD manually in the Startup Disk control panel (as before) and running the application again gave the same error message (also as before).
I then went into Extensions Manager to see if there was anything there that might be interfering with things. The only thing that caught my eye was the LaCie SilverLining control panel (which I think was version 6.4.5a). This was something that originally came on a floppy disk accompanying an external hard drive that I used to use years ago at a place I worked, and I used to find it invaluable back in the OS 9 G1 Power Mac magneto-optical external drive days!
I couldn't remember what it was doing on the iMac, but I switched it off, and then clicked "Restart", hoping that when I rebooted (in OS 9) the error message wouldn't come up when I ran the "Mac OS X Install" application.
However, I'd forgotten that I'd switched the Startup Disk control panel to the DVD, so when the iMac restarted, the initial OS X dark grey Apple logo screen appeared, and I expected the dark grey "circle with a line through it" logo to appear shortly afterwards, but it didn't! The iMac booted up from the DVD, which then let me install Tiger! I was then able to apply the 10.4.11 update, plus all the others that Software Update provided. About half a dozen restarts and several hours later, the iMac is now fully updated & configured, favourites are copied over to Safari 3.1.2, and all I have to do is teach my Mum how to use the OS X Finder, Mail & Safari, as opposed to the OS 9 Finder, Outlook Express & Internet Explorer...
Switching off the SilverLining control panel seemed to do the trick, but since the iMac then rebooted from the DVD, not the internal hard disk, I don't see how it could have possibly had any bearing on things! Very weird!
Anyway, thanks to Allan Jones & spudnuty for their advice. All's well that ends well!

Saving Jpeg in Photoshop CS4 and having problems

Okay, i have been looking all over the internet and i hope it's something really foolish...
After editing a photo in Photoshop (CS4) and saving it as a JPEG / JPG, many people using windows can't open the file, and it gets the extension .JPGG ( ...?... )
If I import the picture in Iphoto first and then mail it ther is no problem.
perhaps this is quite obvious to some, but it's a mystery to me.
To update my website i need to save my JPG files to an XML folder and then flash reads the files and opens them in the site.
The JPG files i saved using photoshop won't open in the site, even worse, the site won't even load because the loader gets 'stuck'.
i tried putting them in Iphoto first because that helped with with mailing, but it doesn't seem to be working this time.
I've tried all the JPG saving options like Baseline etc. converted them to RGB ( they already were) so i'm out of options.
ANYONE ?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I have CS3 so don't know if there's major changes to the formatting process by each version. That may be a question to ask in the Adobe support forum.
However, for a workaround you might try using the Automator workflow I created to change any image file to jpg with the sRGB color profile. Just drag the files onto the workflow icon and they will be converted. You can get it, "Convert to JPG and Embed sRGB profile", at Toad's Cellar. See if those jpgs will work OK. There will be some jpeg compression applied but if they are for posting on the web it may not be objectionable.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Mac-mini, Tiger, and OS9

I currently am running a G3/350 (blue and white) and want to upgrade to a Mac Mini (this will be a secondary computer - main one is an iMac G5). The problem is that the Apple store says the new Mini's ship with Tiger only. I have some software that runs only on OS9 that can't be upgraded to OSX.
So, if I get the Mini, can I load OS9 from Panther undeneath Tiger and continue running my exisitng software?

Personally, I have never encountered a machine specific copy of OS X.
The new line of iBook G4s are shipping with a machine-specific version of Mac OS X 10.4.2 (build 8D37). Another copy of Mac OS X 10.4.2 (the retail version is build 8C46) from any other computer will not boot them.
New (legal) copies of OS 9 can still be had all over the web.
Why would anyone need to get another copy of Mac OS 9 besides the copy that came with their computer? Every computer that Apple makes is still shipping with a copy of Mac OS 9. I suppose, if you've lost your original install disk(s), then you might need to do a search. AppleCare Support can get you a replacement set. If your Mac is out of warranty, you may be charged though.
If your computer shipped with a copy of Mac OS X up to version 10.1.5, your computer would have come with a separate Mac OS 9 install CD. These installs are almost all machine-specific.
If your computer shipped with Mac OS X 10.2 or later, you will have to install Mac OS 9 for "Classic" support from your install/restore disks whether or nor you computer can actually boot into OS 9.
The Mac mini and all the other Macs currently being shipped do not come with Mac OS 9 for Classic support installed by default. However, you can install it from your install/restore DVD.
