I can imagine 7.6.1 would be slimmed down considerably when stripping all the ppc code. Apple didn't do much development on the system for several years. I guess they were concentrating their resources on Copland at the time. Basically they only added stuff like drag and drop and open transport, nothing special. The larger part of the extra code on those 13 extra installer disks was probably powerpc stuff. BTW It might also be cool to slim down 8.1 with this utility and see how it runs on a SE/30 or IIci. -- ---------------------------------------------------------- Check out the System 6 Heaven: http://www.euronet.nl/users/mvdk/system_6_heaven.html Subscribe to the LEM system6 list: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ---------------------------------------------------------- -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
