[Ti] Backup system disk

[XXL]

If you want a bootable System Disk CD all you need to do is is use Apple
Disk Utility and make a disk image of the CD you want to duplicate then burn
that image to a CD-R.  I have never used my Original Jaguar distribution
disks. I copied them this way and have used the copies instead of the
originals.
