Yes, I couldn't agree more with you Jake!
I've been a member of this mail-list for only about 2 or 3 weeks, and am really blown away by the immediate input from others, and the great depth of insight into solving Mac problems and issues.
With all this resident expertise, I don't think I'll need to take a Mac into a shop for repairs in the future. At least I hope this is the case!

thanks for the replies.
ok, so it seems this installing from cd thing is gonna work. it would = seem i need to create a boot floppy with cd support (thanks for the link = brandon) and then burn a cd with the following on it:
1 - the 19 parts of the 7.5.3 decompressed in individual folders? 2 - stuffit (pre ppc version), disk first aid, drive setup and disc = copy. 3 - the 7.5.5 update (also decompressed in individual folders?)
the main thing is i don't currently have a mac with a cd burner attached running os9 - everything's in x! well, i'll give it a try and see how it goes.
interestingly, apple seems to have no problem with offering copy's of = 7.5.3 for download so what i may try and do is put together a cd image that = others can download and burn - make sense?
cool!
thanks,
jake
p.s. i gotta say, i'm blown away - i've been a member of this list for around 4 years now but unable to post for the last two months 'cos of a problem with our smtp server which i've worked round now :-)
but i got back, posted two messages today and you've all come up with blinding answers - i love it!
You don't need Stuffit -- the images are self-extracting (as long as they're in the same level folder as the "head" file (the 1 with the app icon.)
While it may sound like a good idea to make a CD image for others, I'm afraid Apple's legal posse tend to be persnicketty about that sort of thing, if they find out. Technically, the 7.5.3 download from Apple is free, but it's still Apple's copyright. Just for your info.
