- Well, to create my own emergency disks (Disinfectant, DiskFit Direct...)
- I took the "Install Me First" disk from my PB 160, stripped it of the
- extra files (Autoremounter, the Installer etc...) leaving only the
- System and the Enabler. Now copy the program (Norton in this case)
- onto the disk and rename it Installer. Now it should boot and run
- the program you just renamed.
-
- This assumes that you don't need to use the Finder though, since the
- Install Me First disk does not include a Finder. (By the way, you can
- rename the disk.)
