Why is my Classic OS hanging at startup from OSX?

Classic Environment Hangs at Startup

One problem X users occasionally face is the Classic environment hanging at the last part of startup. This is caused by an incorrect Host file somewhere in the System Folder.

If you are running X and having problems starting Classic, check your System Folder for a Hosts or LMHosts file. Remove it from the System Folder and reboot Classic ... it should start up just fine.
