Hi,
thx for the suggestions - I've moved forward a bit
Took MacOS 7.6 from the legacy CD a installed - well tried to install.
This time the system is OK to be installed and everything's fine - till Install
disk 7 (there's invalid checksum on the CD) so it can't be copied to the
floppy.
But at least now I know for sure what I'm looking for - Install7.img disk of
7.6 - the rest should work

Hi,
I found Apple LEgacy CD - located 7.5.3, created the
installation floppies .... but
"The system software installer script does not recognize
this Macintosh" - I'm advised to use the floppies which came
with the Mac.
ANy suggestion here ?
--------------------
Dig a bit deeper and run the installer directly instead of using the script.
Then you can choose to do an install for Any Macintosh which will install a FAT
system, using up your hard drive space with 68K code and drivers for every
device you don't have - or do a custom install and select all the options to
match your Powerbook 1400.
Then you install the 7.5.5 update and get no choices, it just throws on a ton
of drivers and other things you don't need and have to dig into the System
folder to delete. Sooo, the fastest way is to just choose the PPC install
option then do the 7.5.5 update, then go in and remove what you don't need
because it's very likely you don't own one of every model of printer Apple made
up through the release of 7.5.5, nor will you have an Apple NuBus Ethernet card
in a 1400 that needs the A/ROSE extension... or a great lot of the other things
useless to your 1400 that the whole install will put on.
The whole System and Mac OS installers are very customizable but the updaters
just shotgun blast everything on to ensure the users wouldn't un-select
something critical in a custom install.
