How do I clone an OS 8.6 disk when it is the only disk in a G3?

I purchased a G3 with OS 8.6 and other special software preinstalled. The software will not run on any other OS, there is only one disk in the G3, and I do not have any installer disks for the OS or the special software.
I would like to clone a few bootable copies of the drive, so when a drive goes bad, I can replace it.
I have copied all the 8.6 disk files to one of my G5s over the network. Since there is only one disk in the G3, I can't use the G3 for cloning. But, I have a G4 with two disks, so I planned to put the 8.6 files on the second disk in my G4, but I'm not sure of formatting and bootability issues.
Does anyone have a good solution for this task?

Hi, molinus -
A cloning utility is not needed with OS 9 (all versions) and earlier, including OS 8.6. All that needs to be done is to drag the files to the target volume and let go. This can be done to the drive as a whole - drag its icon to the target volume and drop it in, let Finder copy everything to the destination volume. The entire contents of the drive, including anything left lying around on the desktop and anything left in the Trash, will be placed on the target volume in a folder named the same as the source (original) drive.
If it is desirable that the target volume be bootable on the original machine, after the copying is done move the copied System Folder out of its enclosing folder so that it resides at the root level of the volume. The root level of a volume is what you see when you first open the volume's icon.
To avoid loss of Type and Creator codes, be sure the destination volume is formatted HFS+ (Mac OS Extended). It is also best to do the copying using a machine booted to OS 9 or OS 8.6.

How to get rid of /j2ee prefix from URL when I use the OC4J via Oracle HTTP server

In 9iAS 9.0.2 Oracle HTTP Server (OHS) is pre-configured to assign requests to the Home OC4J instance via the URL-prefix "/j2ee"/
For example, the TEST servlet under OC4J would be passed through OHS using:
http://urmachine:urApachePort/j2ee/TEST
whereas in the standlone OC4J version, this URL works:
http://urmachine:urOC4JPort/TEST

How can I sort photos within an event? When I follow the Help instructions, I can sort manually in Photo format, but when I return to Event format, the original order is restored.

How can I sort photos within an event? When I follow the Help instructions, I can sort manually in Photo format, but when I return to Event format, the original order is restored.

Events are organisation for those who can't really be bothered. They are automatic - based entirely on Date and Time the camera records the photos as taken.
You can move photos between Events, you can Merge Events, you can Rename them and sort them in various ways except one: You cannot manually sort in an Event as Events are all automated.
If you want to manually sort in an Event then you've outgrown Events as an organising tool. Now it's time to look at albums (Where you can manually sort) which are much more flexible than Events as an organising tool.

How do I delete photos from my iPad? When I push the red delete button nothing happens.

Which photos are you trying to delete?
You should be able to delete photos in your Camera Roll that have been taken by your device or copied to it from emails, websites, etc.
Photos that were transferred to your device during a sync process are deleted by doing another sync but before syncing deselect those albums you no longer want.

Hi ann_ring,
You should look at the article [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Preferences_not_saved Preferences not saved]. That should give you what you need. Firefox probably can't save the setting saying that you've already seen that box.
Hopefully this helps!

How do i stop my itunes starting an update when i open the application? Its crashing my macbook when i open it.

i've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes numerous times but it still begins an update whenever i open it, the update then causes the macbook to crash halfway through. I've also tried opening it with all my internet switched off.
Any ideas on how to stop it updating? so i can get it to just open?

Yay!
Ironically enough, it was an iPhone 'ding' that alerted me to the solution in this posting.
