Mix 'n' match until you've got the system you want. Copy it all to the
floppy disc, *then* drop the system suitcase onto FixSix. The opening and
closing of the system whilst booted on another System 6/7 disc is the
second method of manually reblessing the system folder. Note you *can't*
use this second method on a System 8/9 machine.
Occasionally you may find that a system installed on a hard drive becomes
unblessed (say, after a crash). The method of recovery is the same: boot
on a System 6/7 floppy and open and close the system suitcase on the hard
drive.
