i downloaded 7.5.3 binary files fro apple support site.
and i move this files to 520c from Macbookpro by floppy disks!

it is system.7.5.3.smi.bin
i did stuffit and it turned out system.7.5.3smi
now i see what smi files means!
self mount image!

But how can i use this files??
it is separated into 19 files.
and i don't know how to use this!
Do i have to use Disk utility in 520c?

someone plz explain procedure to me in detail!

FYI i cannot reach my macbookpro by network
because 520c's network configuration is broken
when i updated system to system7.5.5
So there is no way to use network service...eventhough i have ethernet transthing (aaui-UTP)

last post i wrote that i copy the 7.5.3 files tomy 520c
.
there was already 7.5.5 installed so that i can't install7.5.3 (undergrade)
but there was a option called Custom install
i tried it
only system software checked!
and it worked!..
system 7.5.3 is installed.
but there still was pig language..
that i can't solve..
maybe this will be gone by clean install..

Well done, you're nearly there!

Try the clean install next, as you said. Incase you run into some problems, use the MBP and your four floppies to install. (Rotate your floppies by using the first floppy for the fifth file also etc.)

I've always done installations with cds, but I quess there's a disktool included in the first file/floppy. Start from the first floppy by pressing CMD-OPT-SHIFT-DEL when booting and the 520 should start from the floppy and you could format the HD before doing a fresh install.

Just a reminder; formatting do wipe EVERYTHING of the HD!

It would be easier to follow your saga, if you wouldn't  make a new post for every new how-to install posting, but rather continue an older one, please.
