And yes, I did try with another disk. You need the *new* boot blocks. There are two easy ways to do this: use the Installer and associated scripts which are part of Sys 6.0 release; or drag System/Finder as you did, but *only* after booting with the new System. The first is probably easiest, unless you don't have a hard drive or a second drive - then you will probably get a lot of wrist exercise :-) Rob Trevor MaBell: (609) 452-4051 Bitnet: 6029334@PUCC UseNet: 6029334@PUCC.Princeton.Edu
