Is it ok to install OS 9 applications through OS X or is it better to reboot into OS 9 to do so.

I didn't know whether OS X was smart enough to handle it in every situation, or if OS 9 apps could potentially get screwed up.
 
it's a mixed bag from my expereince. some apps use a fat installer and absolutely must be rebooted to install both versions x and classic. some other apps will install perfectly from classic within os x. and you only have to reboot classic rather than the whole mac-chine. still others simply won't allow you to install in anything but an os 9 boot.

it's more a matter of what the specific installer will let you do.

the safest bet is always to reboot to 9, but it's not always necessary.
