I am installing System 7.5.3 which I downloaded for free to my PC. I made a ISO 9660 CD-ROM containing all the files. Then I booted up the mac using "disk tools". The problem is, that system can't read ISO 9660 CD's! So now I would like to create a HFS-CD in my PC. I've read that this is possible using "mkisofs". Anyone here who has tried, succeeded and written it down maybe?
/Björn -------------------------- BTW! I could mention a few things to others who are trying to get MacOS 7.5.3: * Links I found on Internet and this list's archives that point to Free download of System 7.5.3 are old and don't work. This URL works for System 7.5.3: http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates /English-International/Macintosh/System/Full_Installs/System_7.5_Version _7.5.3/ I also found a good place listing mirrors to many versions of macos: http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/syslist.html * The disks are compressed, and if you have downloaded them to PC, you have to use a program such as Aladdin Expander to decompress them. * To write the disk images to floppy, you have to skip the first 84 bytes! I used a GNU software called DD. dd if=[Apple Image File] of=/dev/fd0 bs=84 skip=1
