The utility DiskCopy (Apple 3.5" Disk Duplicator, v4.1) that is used to convert the System 6.0.5 disk images available via anonymous ftp from apple.com has a very definite bug/incompatibility. DiskCopy cannot be launched from a hard disk that has been partitioned with Silverlining (v5.17 in my case). When DiskCopy is launched from a Silverling partitioned disk it bombs (ID=10, hangs, and/or tells you that the Finder is damaged or missing). Workaround = move DiskCopy to a non-Silverling partitioned disk and launch from there. All works fine then. Thanks to the others also having problems w/DiskCopy that helped me to finally isolate this bug.
