Also, you'll want to restart your machine without any INITs or MultiFinder
or MacsBug / TMON / The Debugger / whatever debugger you prefer...
(The INIT cdev is good - I'll be sending that post card, I think...)
if you're low on memory (< 4 Meg) since I can't rebuild the desktop on
my 40 meg HD in a 2 Meg SEx unless I start with the barest minimum of system.

Why does the re-build take that much memory ? 5 % of the entire disk just
to rebuild the desktop seem like pretty much to me...
