Is there a size limit for the system file built into the Macintosh.  I had some
major problems tonight which were coincidentally solved by lowering my once
massive system file to under 2500K.  My problems began when I removed a DA
and left my file smaller (in hindsight) at around 2600K.  The machine would
not boot off the hard drive and gave me the SAD mac icon with the code and all
with the weird chord playing.  

Any insight, especially the Apple people would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
