- Use the HD 20 Startup disk to boot the machine.
- Insert the System Tools disk into the external 800K floppy drive.
- Start an application from the System Tools disk. TeachText, for example.
- The System Tools disk is now the startup disk. You can remove the HD 20 Startup disk.
- The System and Finder on the HD 20 Startup disk must be the same as the System and Finder on the Hard Disk 20, i.e., System 4.1 Finder 5.5. [This is only an issue with System 4.1 Finder 5.5. System 4.0 Finder 5.4 and below will start with any HD 20 Startup disk.]
- An external 800K floppy drive (attached to the Hard Disk 20) is required for installation, unless you have some other way of moving files from 800K disks to 400K disks.
- The minimum requirement for the HD 20 Startup disk is a System Folder with System 4.1, Finder 5.5, and Hard Disk 20 1.1 in it. See below for information about using Font/DA Mover (you can use the version on the HD 20 Startup disk) to reduce the size of the System file if need be.
- Use the 'Mac Plus, 512Ke, 512K ..' Installer Script in the Utilities Folder on the System Tools disk to update an existing System Folder on the Hard Disk 20.
System 6 disk images from Apple

- The System Tools disk contains a bare-bones System Folder. Use the Installer to create a complete System Folder. To install on a Macintosh 512Ke, do a custom installation of 'System software for Macintosh Plus' or 'Minimal software for Macintosh Plus.'
- The size of the System file with the minimum system font set (see below) and Control Panel installed is 281K.
- Recommended for machines 1 Mb or more of memory, with two floppy drives, or a hard drive.
- Macintosh System Software 6.0.8, released April 1991 [Read Me] [Disk 1 of 4] [Disk 2 of 4] [Disk 3 of 4] [Disk 4 of 4]

- The size of the System file with the minimum system font set (see below) and Control Panel installed is 372K.
- Desk Accessories: There must be at least one DA installed. Control Panel is a good choice. Include Chooser if your printer or modem ports are in use.

- System documents: The minimum set is System and Finder. It's also a good idea to include Clipboard File.
- MultiFinder, DA Handler, Backgrounder, and PrintMonitor (on the Printing Tools disk) work together. Not recommended for the 512Ke.
- Easy Access is small. Includes Mouse Keys (requires numeric keypad) and Sticky Keys.
- Remove Scrapbook File only if you remove the Scrapbook DA.
- Remove Key Layout only if you remove the Key Caps DA.
- Control Panel documents: These store changes to the default settings. You don't need them if you don't want to make changes. But it's a good idea to include the basics: General, Keyboard, Mouse, and Sound.
- Color, Monitors, and Startup Device are for Macintosh SE and II machines.
Working with older disk images
UNetbootin allows you to create bootable Live USB drives for Ubuntu and other Linux distributions without burning a CD.
You can either let UNetbootin download one of the many distributions supported out-of-the-box for you, or supply your own Linux .iso file.
Features
UNetbootin can create a bootable Live USB drive
It loads distributions either by downloading a ISO (CD image) files for you, or by using an ISO file you've already downloaded.
Using UNetbootin
Select an ISO file or a distribution to download, select a target drive (USB Drive or Hard Disk), then reboot once done. If your USB drive doesn't show up, reformat it as FAT32.
If you used the 'USB Drive' install mode: After rebooting, boot from the USB drive. On PCs, this usually involves pressing a button such as Esc or F12 immediately after you turn on your computer, while on Macs, you should hold the Option key before OSX boots.
If you used the 'Hard Disk' install mode: After rebooting, select the UNetbootin entry from the Windows Boot Menu.
Supported Distributions
UNetbootin has built-in support for automatically downloading and loading the following distributions, though installing other distributions is also supported:
UNetbootin can also be used to load various system utilities, including:
