I'm having a similar problem. I am running SL on an 06 Mac Pro, and trying to get it to play nice with a rev. D iMac running 8.6, a PowerBook 145b running 7.1 and an SE (my first computer) running 6.0.8. The Pro is obviously my main production machine, and I would like to be able to use the PB and SE for writing. The iMac is basically an intermediary and a file server for the 68k Macs. I prefer to download on the Pro because of my "DownloadThemAll!" plugin to Firefox and because it's generally quite a lot faster, especially for large numbers of files. I downloaded most of the Apple_Support.../ Older_Systems area, so I could get clean disk images of Systems 6 and 7 and then burned the whole shebang onto CD, which I took to the iMac (which shares nicely with the vintage Macs using AppleTalk). The problem is that the images on the CD aren't recognized by any unpacking or disk copying utility I have on the older machines. My guess is this is something to do with the way the CD is burned. I'm guessing SL burns in ISO9660 or whatever the standard CD format is, and that the older systems are expecting files encoded in HFS? I would like to try FTP but can't for the life of me figure out where to set it up in SL. It's not where I expected it to be and my Google searches have proved fruitless (no pun intended). I don't mean to hijack, but our questions are similar enough that I thought the same answer would probably work for both of us. -Adam --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
