About changing the System Folder to something over the network:  it can't
be done currently.  You must run off a network using a floppy disk or
a hard disk local to the Mac containing the system folder.

(I had reasons of my own why I wanted to do this, but the software prevented
me from doing it.)

Maybe in later versions this will be possible, but can you imagine how
slow it would get waiting for the finder to come up, if the finder was
on a network volume, and the network was busy because 10 other people are
waiting for their finders to come up???  ;-)
