Academically you would only need to copy the basics to a Zip disk like the Finder, Text Encoding, Scripts, Scripting Additions, Fonts, Preferences (unless you want to set them again), Internet Plugins (if you are going to use the net), Control Panels that you use, Extensions that you use. Remember that Apple prefers all Security items be loaded in the system. As far as I know burning a startup CD is a little trickier but what I did was to set my working system and make a disk image which I burned later on. Be careful with the Desktop DB when burning a CD, once you make the disk image DO NOT MOUNT IT, just burn it. System 9.1 cannot be started from a floppy. ----- "Love is blind, and Life is its seeing eye dog." - Kinky Friedman -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
