I just happened to have the 19-part install images on disk - and for fun i tried to install it on an extra hd, seems like you don't need to convert the first 19 parts at all, just click on the first one and the installer will read the images just as they are - without mounting or chunking, the only need to be in the same folder as each other the first image seems to be a special version of diskcopy,when you continue to upgrade to 0S 7.5.5 (that is also free) you need to download from the net 4 more images and they all need to be expanded on your hd for the upgrader to function, for this one you will need disk copy. Not so much work at all if the 7600 has a relatively fast internet connection. The install and upgrade was about 10-15 minutes (I cooked meanwhile aswell) and restarted ! The 19 images are 22mb all together and about 1.1mb each, the 7.5.5 upgrade 5mbs in size, it's not too big. kenta -- -- PowerBooks is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
