>Problem.
>I am trying to configure MOL with reference to copying MAC OS ROM file from MAC System folder to linux rom directory
> my system is 8.6 but installation CD is 8.5 with OS ROM.V1.1.2
> Per download source ( apple) given in the MOL User's guide, OS 8.6 ROM is V1.6
I assume that I must maintain compatibility with OS8.6 and its ROM V1.6.
for the linux rom folder . True????
>OK. Guide tells me that I can obtain the "Mac OS ROM" from the System Folder of the start up disk. I assume they mean OS6 ,which I have on a separate partition on of the drive that linux is installed on.
>But looking at OS8.6 system folder . there is no MAC OS ROM file. I have never seen this named file in any mac system folder on a hard drive. Its on the CD, but I thought that when you install, the CD ROM file loads ROM memory hardware but is not loaded to the hard drive itself . True?
Question: what do "they" refer to and is there someway to copy this ROM
file over to linux rom file that I do not know about?
> The other option is to download it from apple, but they are always crowded and the manual talks about some "tomeViewer utility What is that!!
> Another option is to get the OS8.6 disk,if there is one
made, ?.
>another question. How did "you guys" do it with OS8.6 ???
thanks for your time
