Hi all,

System 7 does not install properly on my SE/30.  This is the scenario.  I 
uploaded the install disks and mounted the images with MountImage.  I then 
ran the installer, and it produced no errors.  So I rebooted.

What happened next was I got the happy mac, and then the welcome to macintosh 
dialogue box appears.  Then the drive stops and the dialogue box begins to 
shimmer (as though being redrawn at a high rate).

The stranger part is that this same installer was used on a Mac Plus with no 
trouble at all (with MountImage).

Does anyone know what is up??  I also tried the customize option with no luck 
(same problem).  Also tried this installer on another SE/30 and same problem. 
I had no inits in the system folder.....(hide them in another folder)

I also have 5Meg ram and I am running 6.0.7 (still).

I will try to re-upload the files, but it seems strange that I could unstuff, 
binhex and run the installer without error if the problem was in the 
upload....(I used the 800K disks).

Anyone with ideas, or similar problems????

Thanks,

Matt Farmer
