Because they didn't release all of them :) >Particularly, I'd like 7.1 or 7.1.2 Also any of those obscure "updates" The FAQ has links for all the major public releases. Obscure and model-specific ones like 7.5.2 and 7.5.4 are generally either very unstable or not useful, so they aren't generally available on-line. Gamba did some work with 7.5.4 a while back and found it rather buggy (which is why Apple didn't release it, electing instead to pull it and fix the bug in the 7.5.5 release). the pickle FAQ <http://macfaq.org/index.shtml> Software Archive <ftp://download:[EMAIL PROTECTED]//Users/thepickl/Sites/Archive/> <http://www.members.jmug.org/%7Ethepickl/archive/> _________________________________________________________________ -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
