Ummm, how would it do that? A new Gestalt trap? IfNotInAbox()? :-) Really, I think the logic on a general install for all Macs (put it all in there, regardless of whether it is useful or not) makes fine sense. If I ever take my External HD to a IIfx, I want to be sure it will boot. I don't want to see "The software on this disk will not boot this machine".... And, as was stated before, it takes but a moment to trash Easy Access, Battery, etc. -- | Paul E.
