>I've was just reinstalling System 6 on my LC when I went into custom setup. I >wondered if someone could answer a few questions for me: > >1. What's the disadvantage to installing the LC minimal system vs. the LC >normal system? Fewer extensions and control panels, a non-color apple in the menu, a smaller system and other things. Not really disadvantageous. But we find eventually that we miss the things not installed. You're able to install a relatively large hard disk. They're dirt cheap. A disk the size of 250MB can be huge for System 6. >2. I plan to have my LC on a TCP/IP network (no appletalk) - can I safely skip >the workstation/appleshare stuff? You can install just the PPP/TCP:IP stuff for networking, but you need appleshare to network using "Public Folder", or maybe a Timbuktu for System 6. >3. I never plan to print from this Mac (files will be transfered over the >network to a PC for printing) can I safely skip the printer drivers? Yes. Just don't install any of the printer extensions. >4. What's quicktime 32? Should I install it or not? Quicktime does a number of things, among which are play movies, (slide-show type animated presentations). >5. Are there any other updates I will absolutely without a doubt need (I plan >to use the machine mostly for creative writing - and perhaps e-mail) You may want to use a laser printer later, or a Stylewriter. They need the TrueType and Grayshare. The PPP and TCP stuff I mentioned if you will use a modem to email. There are TONS of CDEVS and INITS to spruce up your System 6. See the System 6 Heaven website of Marten Van Den Kraats. Google to find it. You'll see MY LC with a boatload of CDEVS and INITS. Much more modern than a plain vanilla System 6.
