- StuffIt 1.5.1 archive, Disk Copy 4.2 images of all 5 disks in software package.
Created on a IIci on System 6.0.4
- "Metadata" document
Installation Tips - preliminary
To install server on a machine that requires a newer version of System 6 than 6.0.3 (e.g IIci on 6.0.4):
- Run Installer on AppleShare Server disk.
- Choose to install AppleShare File Server and EtherTalk (if desired/required)
- Copy "AppleShare Admin" on AppleShare Administration disk to the System Folder of the volume AppleShare File Server was installed on.
- Launch AppleShare Admin application to initialize and configure the server.
- AppleShare File Server application will start automatically after the Macintosh is rebooted.
NOTE: Finder access will be LOCKED out!
To configure the server Macintosh as a nondedicated machine - not mentioned in the manual and is certainly an unsupported configuration
- Boot the server Macintosh from floppy or another SCSI ID using cmd-opt-shift-delete-ID# at startup
- Select the server boot volume in the Finder and execute the Set Startup command.
- Set Finder is the startup application.
- Rename the boot volume's "Server Folder" to "System Folder" if desired.
- Finder will launch for all subsequent boots instead of AppleShare File Server.
- To manually start the server, launch the "AShare File Srv" application in the Server/System Folder. The Mac will have to be shut down/restarted with the reset switch to get back into the Finder. AppleShare File Server does not offer any form of quit option.

Thank you for your reply. I also tried copying the system folder to a blank image without success. I’ll try it again and I’ll see if I can get it to work.
I got the "Desktop manager is not open" message when I tried to install it on top of 6.0.8. When I started with a blank hard disc image, copied the System Folder (6.0.3) from the Install disc onto it, then installed the file server, it worked for me. I suspect it may be pickier about system versions than one might wish.
When launching the server admin tool after installing. I receive the following message "The desktop manager is not open...” I do not know how to open it. I followed the instructions provided several times without success. Any help would be appreciated.
