2.6.1 build Help needed

[Brian Yennie]

Joe, Stephen,

"Classic" MacOS simply refers to versions before MacOS X which used to  
boot in a protected Classic environment inside of OSX. This not being  
the same thing as Mac classic *hardware*. A Mac classic machine  
definitely won't run MacOS 9 "Classic".

Hope that clears things up.
