After lots of digging, I found 800k disk images of the System 7.0 installer. However, the System file on the first install disk is.... corrupt (it didn't even have a System suitcase icon).
Then I downloaded the 1.44mb disk images for 7.0.1 and MountImage to mount the disks, since I don't have an SE FDHD. All of the disk images mounted fine. But, when I run the Installer on the disk Install 1, it says: "There's a problem with the source disk 'Install 1.' No installation can take place. Make sure you are using the original Installer disk. (Error #2232)" I have not been able to find out what this error is. I'm not really sure how to fix this... Also, on Gamba's site it says that there was a minimal version of System 7.0.1 bootdisk that could be used to open and install apple's System 7.0.1 SMI file (which requires 7.0.1 to open), but to "use the big-finder version, as minifinder can't mount disk images." WHAT???????? There *is* no big finder version! What do they mean? I tried using the contents of the "minifinder" disk as the system folder, to see if I could boot from this on the HD and then replace minifinder with a regular System 7.0.1 finder from one of the install disks. However, I get a blinking disk when using this as the system folder (and I did "bless" the folder) I also tried this with the System 7.5.5 Network Access Disk (putting in a folder) but this only gave me a blinking disk icon. There seems to be an issue when using startup *disks* on the hard drive :\ Can anyone give me any insight? :( -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
