ok...

so i got the disk images for 6.0.8 (I thought i might start low)

but my mac is saying that 6.0.8 is to low an OS for this computer.

I downloaded the 7.0.1 OS (Binary) from the apple site, but it's approx 4Mb+, and I don't understand how i'm to get this to span across more than 1 disk.

I'll keep plugging away in the mean time....

(Thanks for your help so far)
