Alright, I replied to the original off-list for some weird reason (I'm tired =P) so I'll repost it here for *everyone*'s benefit. =P Note I'm also a novice Mac user so if anything seems weird or illogical or 'That's not really how you do it!', bame that. 'OK. You've made a good start so far. To accomplish getting the images to your Mac from the PC you'll need TransMac or something similar, it's shareware, Tucows or download.com should have it. You must go through the tedious process of copying each and every bloody disk image to floppy and then copying it to the Mac HD. =P Easiest way to do this is to blow away the hard drive (or at least delete the System folder), boot with the net floppy, copy the disk's System folder to the HD, boot from HD and start copying the 7.5.3 floppies to a directory on the HD. This will take a while. TransMac wrote bloody slow when I did this. When all the images are on the HD, smoke System on the HD (again) and boot from the net floppy (again). Now go to the directory on the HD you copied all the 7.5.3 disks to. Run the first one in the set. If it copied properly, it should start verifying it has all the images and put a CD image on your desktop. Double-click that and the rest should be obvious. =D As for interconnectivity, I'm afraid I can only help you with Ethernet, if the Mac has it. (You just said it wasn't on the net. =P) If you need help with that when 7.5.3 is up and running, shout back. Also, I can't help you with getting the Radius drivers -- I have no idea where to get them, or f they're even gettable.
