- Is it possible to create a bootable disk for system 7 on an 800K or 1.4 M
- floppy? I tried copying the System file from install disk 1 and the Finder
- from install disk 3 and booting from that, but, amazingly, after the happy Mac
- face I get a divide by zero error from the Finder!!!
-
- Or, the REAL question is: after I mung my System file on the hard drive and
- can't restart I've been forced to reinstall from the install disks which takes
- 5-10 minutes. I'd rather boot from a floppy and simply replace the nad System
- file with a good copy I keep around for just that purpose....
-
- Thanks,
