Does anyone have this infamous 7B85 build installed? It seems to be 'around', although it hasn't been seeded to ADC Select and Premier members yet. I'm interested in everything worth noting. I.e. changes from 7B74/80, small things, too.
 
When burning the ISO's you can't use Toast. I may be late, but having worked at an Apple Specialist shop, I know that all the Pre-X builds needed to be burnt with Toast in order to be bootable.

Burn them with (in Jag) Disk Copy or (in Panther) Disk Utility...
 
Yep. I've burned them with 7B80's Disk Utility and everything went fine. I've also heard from people unable to boot from CD1 when burned with Toast. Dunno the reason, but it seems to be true.
 
Also, despite claims that this (85) can't be installed over earlier builds, it went just fine over 7B59 (the latest I had before 7B85, I got busy with work and missed a few).
 
The installation definately needs Disk 3 if you are a unix user. The 3rd disk is what has X11 on it.
 
what if your burner is unsupported by disc copy/disc utility? toast will NOT burn at all? even if you mount the image and then burn the mounted volume?
