It is not a big deal. If you are the only user, then you gain nothing.
I have another non-administrator account which I use when trying out
scary things, so it makes sense to have my fonts in the more central
/Library/Fonts where they available to me and my evil twin.

It has been a while since I last did something like that. Copying the
System Folder should work. You may have to bless it before it will boot
straight into OS9. I think that involves running classic then doing
something fairly obvious in there like choose start-up volume.

Arggh! I seem to remember you had to say you wanted OS9 disk drivers
when you partition the disk. That will make it more scary and time
consuming.

So you better hope that the publisher's test bank thingy runs in
classic.
