In addition to using the minimal system with installer, a trick I used when writing my thesis with only a mac plus and no Hard Disk while at the observatory was to rename [insert your favorite word processing application here] to "Finder" and have [your favorite equation editor] as a da. I did have to do a little screwing around with [your favorite graphing application] and [your favorite drawing application] on another disk, but you get the idea. Note that this is slightly less than the origanal poster requested since you can't launch applications (unless you add some 3rd party application, of course), but if you need the space on the floppy for only one application, it works well. jjk Jim Klavetter Astronomy Program University of Maryland College Park, MD 20742
