Collect all Macs? was Re: Mac OS 9.1 now a free download

[Jason McBrien]

Ditto that information. The size of the 9.1 download is about 90MB.
IIRC the install directory for MacOS 9 is at least 150MB, and that's
without MacOS 9.1 update, which adds a bunch more stuff. There's no
way that particular download is a full install of MacOS 9.
