     Since you are downloading to a PC, you can save yourself loads of bother
by just getting System 6.0.1 from USA2WUG at ...

http://www.grin.net/~cturley/USA2WUG/SystemSoftware/IIgsSystem601disks/  .

These are plain Apple II whole-disk ShrinkIt files which unshrink on your
Apple II using either 8-bit ShrinkIt or GS-ShrinkIt. The same folder includes
directions in a Text file (AaInstallingSystem601.txt) .


     For more info and alternative sources, see the newsgroup FAQs at ...
