Ross, I'm fairly shure that the FAQ that accompanies this list describes how to Make Mac system disks from downloaded system files, using a PC. I did it: all well. Maybe you'd like to start the experiment using system 6.0.8. It's a LOT smaller (2 disks) :) (If not, I have a print-out of the original email from fast-alex that describes it.) See one of the pickles postings for the FAQ-adress in the sig. On Linux, I wouldn't know the how-to's. -mart -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
