Keywords: mac plus,system tools 6.0 Message-ID: <2232@ur-tut.UUCP> Date: 29 Jun 88 20:53:24 GMT Organization: Gadgetland USA Lines: 26 I recently downloaded the System Tools 6.0 release from GEnie. There were no problems transferring the files (in fact, all 2290 blocks of the System were sent with no retransmissions!) I moved the System and Finder to a blank floppy, placed them into a System Folder, then added the "entourage" -- General, Keyboard, Mouse, etc. etc. This disk will not boot. The happy face appears, the startup screen says "Welcome to Macintosh," then a dialog with a System icon appears saying "Can't load needed resource" with a Restart button. However, cmd-opt- doubleclicking on the Finder works just fine. It seems that something is missing from the System or the System Folder, but I can't determine what. And yes, I did try with another disk. I'm running a Mac Plus with the usual bells and whistles. This is extremely mystifying and not a little embarrassing ("Hey Joe - get a load of this guy who can't make a startup disk!") so any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
