    I am trying to set up ASIP 6.3 on a new G4 running OS 9 and am running into
    some problems. Before my next "format and start over" attempt, I thought I
    ask if there are any secrets that I should know regarding the combination in
    the subject line.

    My specific problem is that Finder and Server Admin crash when I use the
    Copy Item command to copy folders with permissions intact. These crashes
    cause problems ranging from ASIP refusing to start on the next reboot to the
    disk not being recognized as a startup disk.

    In the absence of knowledgeable input, my next attempt will be to partition
    the drive into a number of small (4 GB) drives and format them all as HFS
    standard. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
