After installing System 7.0 last nigh, I thought I screwed up the System File (by adding too many fonts), so I tried to manually reinstall the System File from the installation disk. I put the current System File into the Trashcan and copied the System File from the Installation disk. Well I noticed that the System File off of the Installation disk did not have any fonts or sounds. Well I put the fonts in manually, and rebooted. All I got after the reboot was the menu bar and a busy cursor flashing on and off. The Finder did not load. Well I restarted off of a floppy and moved the "old" System File (7.0) back into the System Folder and trashed the System File that was corrupted. So I am now running with a System File with too many fonts. Where and how can I get a copy of the default System File? Or, how can I manually build the System File from the 800K Installation disks?

I think the days of manually installing systems (particularly from floppy disks) are gone. The installer literally builds a system 7 System file for you, it isn't sitting there on the 800K disks.
