I find a USB stick the most convenient and load some software on CDs. No, Mac OS 9 is not based on BSD. Only Mac OS X+ is. No development tools come with it out of the box (unless you consider AppleScript). Programming for the classic Mac OS is totally different from Mac OS X+. There is the classic Toolbox with Pascal or C, Hypercard, RAD tools like RealBASIC, the slightly refined Carbon APIs, many scripting languages available, etc. But nothing out of the box that's not a separate install. Sorry, it's a big subject and don't want to get more into it here.
