I recently downloaded the System Tools 6.0 release from GEnie.  There were
no problems transferring the files (in fact, all 2290 blocks of the System
were sent with no retransmissions!)

I moved the System and Finder to a blank floppy, placed them into a System
Folder, then added the "entourage" -- General, Keyboard, Mouse, etc. etc.
This disk will not boot.  The happy face appears, the startup screen says
"Welcome to Macintosh," then a dialog with a System icon appears saying
"Can't load needed resource" with a Restart button.  However, cmd-opt-
doubleclicking on the Finder works just fine.

It seems that something is missing from the System or the System Folder,
but I can't determine what.  And yes, I did try with another disk.
I'm running a Mac Plus with the usual bells and whistles.

This is extremely mystifying and not a little embarrassing ("Hey Joe -
get a load of this guy who can't make a startup disk!") so any suggestions
are greatly appreciated.
