One other thing.  From your previous posts it sounds like your 3.5" drive
may be flaky.  Once you get System 6.0.1 you have enough RAM to create a
2-3 Meg RAMdisk.  You can install System 6.0.1 on the RAMdisk and boot
from it.  That will save you a lot of shuffling of floppy disks and save
wear and tear on the drive.

Just remember to save your files to an actual disk before shutting off
the computer.  Also, I leave my GS on 24/7 without ill effects, so using
a RAMdisk as a poor-man's hard drive is an option.
