Just in case I don't notice some directory or file, does anyone here know where every single Classic-related file resides in Mac OS X? Especially in 10.4 Tiger and 10.2 Jaguar.
As I hinted at in another thread, I'll be attempting a Frankenstein project of combining parts, or even replacing in full, Tiger's Classic with Jaguar's Classic, and edit those files where needed. But it would suck if I missed on checking some directory or file, so I wanted to ask about it here first, especially in case someone else here already poked at such files, and has something to say.
The goal is to fix Tiger's (and Panther's) broken-ass Classic, so we increase Mac OS 9 software smoothness, compatibility AND overall usability on machines that lack Mac OS 9 or Mac OS X 10.2.8 Jaguar, which accounts for at least all 970FX and 970MP G5s.
Do I expect this approach to work? No, not at all. In fact, I'd be surprised if any of this actually DID work. But the chance is there, and the only way to ensure it doesn't happen is by not doing it. So any help is appreciated.
(On a side note, what is a good source for learning how to compile the earliest Darwin kernels? I know the ones that correspond to earlier OS X versions like 10.2 have been compiled, unlike certain later versions.)
