Hey Mark,

If you have another SCSI Mac with a CD Rom drive that would accept an extra SCSI drive, you can do the following :

Place your CC drive on your second Mac and erase it

Still on your second Mac, make a disk image of your install CD with diskcopy

Copy this disk image on your CC drive (hopefully it is large enough) and put this drive back on your CC

Now, you just need to find a bootable floppy and put diskcopy in it (it is very small). You boot your CC from the floppy, open you disk image and install.

Good luck! :)
