Neither me nor Apple Compuiter are responsible for any problems or loss of data relating to this installer. If there are any problems, don´t flame me, but please report this error.
1) Install a minimal System 7.0 or better 7.0.1 system disk. (7.0 was not tested the last weeks, sorry). It´s faster to install the system on a hard disk, because a lot of file accesses are required. But you can also copy the utilities disk and remove the hard disk formatting utility. Or try to install this software on a MountImage 1.2b1-Image.
Install System 7 Tuneup (1.1.1).
Delete any unneeded Files like the Control-Panel-Alias in the Apple-Menu.
2) Get an Apple Installer. The installer 3.2 is the standard system 7 installer on your 'Install 1'-Disk. If you want to delete the fonts, you have to use the Installer 3.3. You can find it on the Developer CD (March ´92 and later).
3) Copy this installer in my folder 'Min-System-Installer Disk' and don´t change the folder name!
4) Start the installation. Be careful to choose the right floppy/hard disk!
5) Test it on your machines. (Test your 'First Aid'-Disk before you need it; if this disk doesn´t work and you must use it, it´s too late...).
6) If this installation doesn´t work, you have to re-install the whole system because the resources are deleted (but we wanted to do it).
7) Please report any errors, suggestion and anything you like or dislike.
8) If you patch this installer, the best resources you can use are the 'FPac'- and 'FPad'-resource. (FP are my initials, and the resources are enumerated aa,ab,ac,ad,..). Only add some resources to existing packages.
'FPac': these resources are deleted
'FPad': these resources are replaced if they are in the original system.
Currently only used for some strings. I have changed the resource Type for special countries, so any US-'STR ' will be in the ' USA'-resource. The resource IDs are unchanged, but this is only for better readability.
