Did you extract it on to an HFS partition? I'm not familiar with the Linux version of Stuffit Expander, but I assume it would create the resource forks of the files needed by MacOS correctly on an HFS volume if you ls -a System \Folder you should see .resource and .finderinfo folders, with the .resource folder containing a non-zero-size file for the 'System' file. >From there, if you have a mac-formatted floppy (you could make one by burning the boot-floppy-hfs image and then deleting the files) then I think cp from the HFS partition to the HFS floppy would preserve the resource forks. I haven't ever tried this, it would be interesting to know if it works! If not, another thought would be to use hfstools to do the copying. But that would be a huge pain AFAIK. The one thing you would be missing is the 'blessing' for the System Folder - hfstools can do that - but I don't believe a floppy really needs a blessing anyway. -- "The way the Romans made sure their bridges worked is what we should do with software engineers.
