I recently created install floppies under Panther, too. Also had the problem with Disk Copy not working, not even in Classic.
I had different images for several versions of mac os (6.0.8, 7.1, 7.5). Copying their content on the floppy in the Finder worked flawlessly with all of them.
Note: Some type of image files failed to open just by double-clicking on them. Try manually dragging them on StuffIt Expander and / or Toast.
I managed to mount EVERY kind of image files (and I had several types downloaded from the net) with either StuffIt, Toast or by self-extracting (.sea images) them.
Don't forget to "bless" the system on your floppies. I did this in Terminal. I am not sure if the "old-fashioned" way - double-clicking the system folder - does work under OS X.
If you still have any problems, could specify the type of your image files?
I cannot exactly remember what worked with which image file. (Don't have them on my PB at my university where I have internet / email access)

Hi!
For the first time in a long time I want to create a set of 7.1 install floppies for a friend.
I have all the images, and the early (24K) DiskCopy utility that I use on older Macs.
I have a USB floppy drive on my iBook (10.3) and, ideally, would like to be able to create those floppies without having to start up one of my older Macs and transfer the images to it.
DiskCopy will not drive a USB floppy under 10.3 and Classic. Can anyone suggest a way to create floppies from images under X, please?
Thanks,
Stuart
