Since I wrote this, several people have posted or Emailed saying that they
don't understand the problem -- ShrinkIt is asking me where I want to put the
system disk.  Unfortunately, the disk is archived in dImg, or disk image,
format.  When I unpack it, I get an 800K file which contains the _image_
of the System Disk, not the disk itself.  If ShrinkIt recognized dImg
format, it would prompt me with "Select device to unpack to" or whatever.
Todd P. Whitesel is currently working on the problem.  Hopefully his recent
posting cleared things up.  Thanks Todd, what would we do without you!
