RE: netboot from system 7.1? (was: how to install on a cold IIcx?)Hi,
I've tried both "transmac" and AppleTalk (NT - shared directory) without =
succseed. Both of them manage to copy the disk sets from Apple (ftp) to =
the mac, but my system 7.1 just proclaim that it could'nt open the files =
because the program that created the file is not present.
maybe I am missing some system components?
...Tommy
You can get a program called "transmac" which will read hqx files and =
write the proper image to a floppy disk. I managed to download 7.5.3 to =
an M$ machine, use transmac to write all 18 or so disks to floppy, then =
copy the data from floppy onto the mac, and install 7.5.3.=20
A pain switching 18 floppies, but hey - NetBSD boots on my mac now. =
It's worth it if you ask me ;-)=20
Funny enough, I was upgrading the mac from system 7.1, so it should =
work no problem for you.=20
