classic startup:
ive got os 9.1, and it seems to have loaded, but it says it: cant update files in 'system folder'
because its read-only.
im the only user on this machine and ive tryed 'authenticating' in the netinfo bit, but that doesent help....
anyone got any ideas how to get this thing going please?

do a get info on the system folder and check what the permissions are set to.

Well clearly "read only" is the problem.
Click the lock and change the setting. It will ask you to authenticate.

When it tells you you don't have sufficient privileges, click the "authenticate" button.

It seems its been cdragged accross from a OS 9 boot CD - i.e. its a special System folder just to boot from a CD. You will need to use a "full" OS 9 System Folder.

I free'd my mind... now it won't come back.
