Stuffit is only needed to decompress bootx.  BootX loads the kernel.

Nels, I have Stuffit here if you're having problems.  I also have Netscape 3.04 
for MacOs 7.x if you're having trouble finding a browser.  I *also* have a 
2.4.21 PPC kernel image if you don't want to get it from ppckernel.org.  Want a 
CD?

Cheers,

James
