One of my hesitations on the ftp (SAFE2) approach is that I haven't
any luck preserving file-type with ftp, while the HFS.dmg approach was
better.  My experience with ftp under GS/OS is limited as I only
received my uthernet card this summer.  Using SAFE2/ftp under
Sweet16-2b18 worked, but I couldn't do what I wanted.  I could ftp
from GS/OS to another Mac, but I couldn't ftp to host Mac.  Never
figured that out, and haven't tried under the official 2.1.x releases.
I usually have TCPIP b3 init disabled, because KEGS won't boot GSOS
with the TCPIP init active.  I think b1 was harmless, but b3 causes
KEGS emulator to enter a corrupted state.  I use the same disk images
with both emulators, so I usually leave TCPIP inactive.  If I need it,
I activate it and restart GS/OS.  Then try to remember to deactivate
it before I quit GS/OS.  If not, then shift-booting works OK to reuse
the KEGS emulator.  Kind of got off subject on a tangent ;-)

I would prefer the new drag-n-drop interface.  Go Sheppy!
