Thank you everyone (and especially Dan for his consoling tone) for all the excellent advice. The saga of my 5300 entered a new and possibly more encouraging chapter this morning, when I started everything up again and lo, its icons showed up on the 7600's desktop. I *swear* up and down and back and forth that the set up is *exactly* the same as yesterday's, when the SCSI connection refused to work at all. Maybe the [EMAIL PROTECTED] thing only likes even-numbered days?
So as of this moment the 7.5.3 installer software is on the 5300 HD; in a few minutes I'll see if it will consent to actually install from there.
