There are too many folders/items on my hard drive that I do not use.

I recently upgraded my G4 to Mac OSX 10.2.2 (450 MHz with 256 MB RAM). I inherited this Mac about 2 years ago and I'm thinking about starting from scratch and installing the Software restore Discs for the G4/9.0.

Is the proper protocol to intall OS 9.1, then 9.2.2, OS X, 10.1, 10.2 then all my applications (Quark 5.0/Pagemaker 7.0/Illustrator 10/Photoshop 7.0), or is there an easier way?

I'm also hooked up to a LAN, and I'm concerned that I may lose my connectivity to printers, Internet, external devices, etc.
 
If you have the installation cds, you can just install 10.2 and then apply the 10.2.3 combo update. If you use OS 9 and have the proper CDs, install 9.2.1 after which you can update OS 9 to 9.2.2
 
I have the upgrade disks for OSX (10.2) and the installation disks for OS 9. Can I start by using the OSX upgrade disks without the installation disks?
 
Unsure ... try with OS X upgrade.. if it starts to upgrade, it works, if not then start with 10.1 ...

Btw, unchoose all the languages you are not going to use so you'll save some 200 - 300 MB on your system.. it adds that much space to store the langauge packs. An other way to get that done is later with monolingual.app (if you need it, get it from my downloads page, link on sig.)

After X, then wiht 9.. If you have use for it :)
