| Nope. You have to use OS 9 in some manner to install. As long as Macs ship with the ability to load Classic, creating an OS X native installer is low on Blizzard's priority list.
The software restore disks may have an image you can mount that you could use to copy an OS 9 system folder. I'm not sure which system you have so I can't say for sure. considering that a bare minimum OS 9 system folder can be smaller than 300 MB, I don't think it's too much of a hard drive hog to bother deleting it in the first place, especially in situations like this.
If you absolutely cannot install OS 9 for religious purposes, then you can install the game on some other OS 9 compatible Mac and copy the game over. I believe the installer embeds the CD key in two data files while installing (one ore two more with the LoD install), so there isn't a way to do a drag and drop install off of the CDs. |
