Here's a question that came up recently when I was unable to get my install script to install os 3.1 in happy preparation of installing os 3.9. Got that? So parts of the install were done by hand and eventually I got it up and running. Bad floppies are such a pain and I have a couple of grocery bags of decaying disks.
I got to wondering what all in all constituted an OS install, insofar as say you had an A4000 and it had 3.1 roms and you were going to install the operating system 3.9 without a script, say you never had a script for some curious reason, cosmic rays ate your CD or something, but you had all the files and all... at what point of copying the files onto your machine could you say "I have installed OS 3.9 on this machine...."? you could leave out the fonts probably and some of the libraries maybe? But at what point would the machine boot up to OS 3.9 rather than OS 3.1? That's the question, talk amongst yourselves.
