OT: Classic install problems

[gooddogcomics at mac.com]

Thanks, Mike. It worked like a charm.  I'm leaning in the direction of 
doing this when I upgrade all my apps to OS X, when I'll only need 
Newton Connection Utilities and Newton Press. Everything else will be 
OS X by that time, so the small footprint, faster booting is ideal.  
What a riot, and fun to do for the first time.

Thanks.

Mark
