You can download the MacOS 7.5 set from Apple, then use it to create floppies, then use the Tools floppy to boot with, which will allow you to setup the internal hard disk. If you can't get this to work (I haven't tried it from the free MacOS 7.5 stuff), I can send you a disk image of that floppy (since its now free, there should be no reason I can't legally do that?). --> Russ -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
