Re: CD-ROM weirdness, and System 6 on CD-ROM

On another note, has anyone ever put System 6.0.1 on a CD-ROM?  It'd beat
doing the floppy shuffle when adding/removing system components or doing a
clean install.  I have software (for Linux and Win32) that'll produce HFS
and hybrid CD-ROMs, and I've copied all of the floppies onto the hard drive. Is it a simple matter of dragging the contents of all of the disks into the 
same folder, or is there more to it than that?


I've made a System 6.0.1 installer CD. Having all the files in one
folder won't do as the installer looks for specific disks with specific
names. What I did was make up a partitioned CD. I did this by taking a
small hard drive and partitioned it into ProDOS partitions. I
transferred the contents of each floppy into a partition and renamed
that partition to whatever that floppies was. Then I did a blind SCSI
copy(device copy) with Toast. The hard drive wasn't mounted at the time
and didn't contain Mac drivers. When done I had a bootable 6.0.1
installer CD.
