This is a good place to ask - this forums isn't so much about the story anymore, as it is a general Marathon forum. Welcome :-)
As for your problem, what you've described sounds like the right procedure, and I'm not sure why it's not working. Aleph One is basically a replacement for the Infinity application - drop it in and launch it and it should run fine. When you try to run Infinity itself (assuming you've got Classic on your machine), does it work? If not, then the problem's not with Aleph, but something else. Get back to us about that any maybe someone might be able to figure something out.
Also, you can contact the developers directly at... I think it's marathon-support@sourceforge.net, or some such. There should be a link from source.bungie.org somewhere.
