As I recall from my Sys. 7 days, I think that when the head program (whatever it is has the app icon) loads all the various parts, it is mounted on the desktop as 1 big disk image. It might save a few steps when you're installing to copy *that* mounted disk to your CD image, where it will be a folder, with 1 unified install file. Then, after you burn the CD, it will just be an easy step to click on the installer, & install on the drive you want to, rather than wait for the image loading engine to verify the images, etc. I just checked that out with the archive I have; the final image, when it's mounted, is named "Sys7.5 V7.5.3 CD Inst". -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
