Well, I've done some testing and I'd like to try and clear a few things up: In article <2694@crystal9.UUCP>, derosa@motcid.UUCP (John DeRosa) writes: > I read in an issue of MacWeek or MacUser or MacWorld (its > all a blur when you read too many journals) that there is > a secret feature in Apple's HD SetUp. ^^^^^^^^ Actually, it's in Installer 3.0 (sys6.0.4/6.0.5) > If you type in the word "ski" at the screen following the > opening copywrite screen, you can choose which wait icon you > want for your system; hour glass, fingers counting, world > turning or a wrist watch. This is on version 6.0.4 and From what I could see, all you are really choosing is what cursor the Installer uses as a 'busy' cursor while installing your system software. It looked like a 'feature' of the Installer, and not of the System Software. (i.e. you won't see any funky wait cursors normally, no matter what you choose here) > The problem is, I can`t get it to work on my IIcx.

Not HDSetUp; this secret feature is in the regular System Installer that started with 6.0.4 (I believe).
