It has taken a long time to happen, but the disk images for System Software
6.0.5 are now available on Apple.com for anonymous FTP. These files are in
a special sw.license directory. You may FTP files from this directory, but
you may NOT legally redistribute these files electronically. By downloading
these files, you are also bound to the terms and conditions in the End User
License Agreement found in the same directory. In addition, each of the files
has this agreement prepended to its BinHex form. You need to read and remove
these headers before decoding the file.
PLEASE WAIT UNTIL NON-PRIMETIME HOURS TO DOWNLOAD THESE FILES. Each image is
over 800K in size, and this much traffic during peak hours must be avoided.
The BinHex files produce StuffIt files of the disk images. When you UnStuff
these files, you will get DiskCopy documents. DiskCopy is an application from
Apple for producing exact disk images and for creating floppy disks from these
images. You also need to download DiskCopy for these images to be of any use
to you. WARNING: DiskCopy is currently incompatible with SUM II and SAM from
Symantec. If you get errors or problems with DiskCopy, check to see if these
are the problem.
We are currently working with our Software License department to allow further
redistribution of these files and to allow us to post other licensed software.
Until that time, please don't ask why other things are not posted and do not
further redistribute these files.
To get System Software 6.0.5...
anonymous ftp to Apple.com (130.43.2.2) with password guest.
Look in ~ftp/pub/dts/sw.license
get the Read Me file and the End User License Agreement. Once you have
read these, get DiskCopy and the disk images. All disk images are prefixed
by 605i. If you don't know if you want to upgrade to 6.0.5, then you may
want to read the DRAFT change history or user-level technical information
on 6.0.5 documents which are also available in this directory.
After getting the files...
Read and remove the license prepended to each file
Decode the files with BinHex then StuffIt
Run DiskCopy to produce original floppy disks
Boot your machine with the Systems Tools disk and run the Installer...
Enjoy.
