Just use the SetStart Control Panel and Choose the Finder that should be
in the System Folder thats NOT the Mac's System Folder. If it's not
there then Copy it over to it. It does'nt really matter where it is just
that you tell GS/OS where it is ! You can use it to Start any sys16
file.

Or you could Set the startup file with the setup in the FileServer
Software ! That's is how I do it. A login and userid for the Finder one
for GNO .2.0.6 and again one more for Merlin. Keep's thing's clean and
lean as I only have 1.7 Megs of Ram.

Hope it helps
