System 6.0.7: Installing Comm Toolbox



I want to install MacTerminal 3.0 on a Macintosh LC. Unfortunately,
MacTerminal 3.0 has to have certain Comm Toolbox resources into the System
file. This means I have to restart from the original Installer disk, which
happens to be System 6.0.5, a System that doesn't work on Macintosh LC.

I've tried to upgrade the installer disk to System 6.0.7. When I start the
Macintosh LC and try to execute the installer script, the computer asks for
the "Communications 1" disk. All I can find is a disk called
"Communications", not "Communications 1".

The Communications Toolbox installation diskette that ships with
MacTerminal is named "Communications". An essentially identical diskette
shipped with the Macintosh Communications Toolbox package is named
"Communications 1."

The Communications Toolbox 1.0 Installer Script on both diskettes (and the
6.0.7 Network Product Installer) asks you to insert the diskette
"Communications 1", but you may use either diskette. Updating the CTB
Installation diskette to version 6.0.7 has no effect on the resources and
their locations called for by the installation script.

There isn't enough room on the CTB installation disk to conveniently
update it to System 6.0.7 using the script "minimal software for any
Macintosh". Many people choose to install minimal software for a specific
Macintosh. An alternative is to not update the CTB installation diskette
to System 6.0.7 but instead start the Macintosh with another diskette
containing System Software 6.0.7. Then insert the CTB installation diskette
and run the installer.

Another possibility is to get the 6.0.7 Network Products Installer off
AppleLink. Use the BB Pathfinder and search on "Software and 6.0.7".
