I apologize in advance for asking a question someone else has asked and has had answered. I try to read everything, but with 100 articles a day in this comp.sys.mac alone, it's very difficult to pay attention to anything. I just received a IIcx. Since I have 4M, I'm trying MuliFinder and Back- ground Printing for the first time. I tried installing the system from the complimentary system disk from Apple, but after it finishes what I think is installation on my internal hard disk, the disk cr*ps out. That's not much of a problem, other than the fact that I have no backup system, but also I can't seem to do background printing. The system is 6.0.3. Laserwriter version is 5.2. If someone could help me, I'd appreciate it. I could live without background printing, but I'd rather live with it. Thanks in advance, Mathiew C.A. Scallon scallon@cod.nosc.mil

You need to make sure that you have the files Backgrounder and PrintMonitor in your System Folder. The best way to assure this is to install your printing resources via the Installer instead of dragging the files from the printing 1 disk to your system folder. When you say the disk "cr*ps" out - can you be a bit more specific?
