which is equally awfull but less awfull
Umm, that doesn't quite make sense...
i dont have 19 floppies ( apart from my floppy version of windows 95 and i am not going to reformat those ! )
You wouldn't need all 19 floppies written at the same time, you could make the first few, start installing, and then re-use them to make the later ones once it's finished with them.
and im not sure my classic can take 7.5 its 40 mb hd is already struggeling
If you select Custom Install when installing 7.5.5, select a system specific for "this Macintosh", and deselect all the printers etc that you don't want to be installed, you'll get it in well under 40 MB (around 20-30 MB).
yeah... why not upgrading the RAM? when you´ve got 2mb the RAM car is already in there and all you need are two 30pin 1MB sticks... shouldnt be too hard to find them
It's more a case of whether he's confident opening up the Classic though, as the memory is deep inside the little beast...
