A friend of mine just got a Powerbook 1400cs but without a CD-ROM drive. Its running a horrifyingly old install of 7.5.3 thats probably been on there since 1996. We'd like to get it running a nice clean install of 8.1 but only have it on CD. I know there was never a floppy disk version of 8, so is there a way I can create floppy disk images of the installer from my CD? I was thinking back to some software I'd used many years ago (Compact Pro came to mind) that I believe made disk images. Anyone done this before?
