I went through two install CDs . The third finally worked. I'm not
sure of any zip drive problems, but you may have a bad install CD. I
stopped second guessing myself on the 2nd CD. Everything went fine on
the third one.
I'll have to agree with the .sit file on the install CD. Luckily I
found stuffit expander on my OS install CD. Seems like an odd way to
go about things... Why is it compressed in the first place?!
(probably a good reason, but I would imagine a lot of people try to
get away with bare-bones installs of the mac os).
