- A friend of mine installed System 7 on a IIsi with only 2 meg RAM. He was
- using virtual memory to get by, but the machine was extremely slow. I
- recommended that I install 6.0.7 until he buys more memory. I started up
- with a system 6.0.7 startup, used Compact Pro to archive the System 7
- folder, and then ran the System 6.0.7 installer. This worked fine. Also,
- if he ever buys more memory he can just delete 6.0.7 and uncompress System
- 7.
