From: Jerry E. Pournelle <POURNE@MIT-MC> As has been pointed out by many, you CAN boot with the external drive, with the main drive empty; that seems to work about as if you had a 1-drive system. The font transfer problem remains real, though; and teh System Disk has to be somewhere for it to do much. I do not understand the business about inserting the original system disk when copying disks, but it happens consistently to me: only when copying all files, not when copying any single file. With a second drive the Mac becomes useful, but it remains painfully slow in getting much done, and there seems to be -- I have heard of no -- way to do BATCH work so you can set it up to do something and just go away while it does it. Anyone know of a SUBMIT like facility for the Mac?
