Thanks for all your help, I'm off downstairs with a screwdriver to the dead computer room in a sec to remove all the 500Mb SCSI disks from those Quadras. I feel on more familiar ground now and have also found some interesting details on hacking the nvramrc - as I understand it oldworld PPCs can have 'issues' with booting linux and you have to workaround it with bootstrapping partitions, etc - sounds like fun. Another question - I use a Sun machine with NFS / FTP / HTTP to install virtually all my systems and ideally would like to install my 7500s across the network too. I've read that some later iMacs can be 'netbooted', but can a 7500 be forced in any way to install across a network from a fileserver? I know that I can boot from a floppy and set linux up from a remote source, but can I remotely install Apple O/S? I only have version 8. Will a 7500 even run O/S X - I don't care about speed issues, I'm just interested to know if it's worth even trying as an experiment. Thanks again!
