It’s a good idea to make backup copies of important software on floppy disks
in case your hard disk or some of its contents is damaged. You can use the
Floppy Disk Maker program, which is on your hard disk and on the CD that
came with your PowerBook, to make a set of system software disks or to back
up some key items.

Floppy Disk Maker is in the System Backup folder, inside the Apple Extras
folder on your hard disk. You can use it to make backup floppy disks of the
core system software from disk images that are also on the hard disk.

You can use Floppy Disk Maker with disk images on the CD to make backup
disks of all system software and programs that were preinstalled on your hard
disk. For more about using this backup program with the CD, see the file
“CD – Important Information” on the compact disc. To use the CD, your
computer must have the optional CD-ROM drive or you must have access to a
CD-ROM drive.
