Is it possible to point me to some webpage where I can find *basic*
information on getting started on a Mac II vx? Basically I know
nothing about Macs. The machine is running 7.5.5, but the IP-settings
are protected by a sysadmin password that I do not know. I also would
like to (and must, I think) partition the disk (230 MB).

I suppose that I have to install MacOS anew, after repartitioning (say
30MB Mac or less?, rest BSD). Things I've tried, like do not work, perhaps
because there is some special protection on this formerly networked
machine. 

There is a working CD-Rom in the machine. It has a working ethernet
card (I can let it get an IP through RARP). It has 12MB RAM. I
searched a number of times, but I cannot find enough information on
the web. I would love to read something like the diskless FAQ, which
helped me set up a Sun 3/80 in no time.

TIA! And please reply to me as well. I send a sunbscription to the
list now, but am not sure how quick I will get the messages.

Thanks!

Marc
