Can you boot a beige G3 with 7.5? I didn't think that worked. There's another disk (as I read from http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/macppc/SystemDisk-tutorial/ ) that has a System 8.1 boot image, http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/System/Mac_OS_8.1_Update/Disk_Tools_PPC.img.bin But I don't know how to get the image on a disk without another mac. You can also find third party disk utilities that boot- I've seen them on the web for a couple of dollars, $5 and less. I'd look around at NetBSD for a beige- I don't think they need a permanent MacOS installation, as Linux does. -- Dana [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MaX-list is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac> \ Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> MaX-list info: <http://lowendmac.com/linux/max.shtml> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/max-list%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
