I had to install Stuffit on my PowerBook 5300 earlier tonight, and you do need Stuffit to expand it, so you can install Stuffit. Fortunately, I have a friend down the hall with a PowerMac 5300 that I unstuffed with, and threw it onto a floppy (Mac format). Also, check in the Internet Utilities folder, because IIRC, 8.6 included expander, and I'm fairly sure 9 did, or at least the OEM install disc for my PowerBook G3s did, anyway.
