Thanks Eric. I was able to recombine the 7.5.3 disk images in a folder and then I burned the resultant onto a CD. I went to Gamba's site (an incredible resource!) and downloaded a boot floppy image for 7.5.3. So, my plan is to boot from the floppy and then install 7.5.3 from the CD. Is this the likely procedure,...or will I be able to boot from the CD? Also, I download Gamba's procedure for downsizing 7.5.3 to 7.1 in functionality.
Gary
Right procedure. You'll have to install a System onto the CD to boot from it. I don't know if you can run an installer onto a CD disk image on your eMac, but it's worth a shot. Then put the 19 images into their own folder, etc. Also look at Gamba's site for a CDROM driver unless your external model is an Apple-ROM model. Or you could try starting up with cmd-opt-shift-del to locate an alternate startup device.
