It's been a long time since I did this, someone will correct me if I'm wrong, and I probably will be.  I installed 7.5.5 on it's own HD under Shapeshifter.  I think my first hurdle was getting the archives into the Mac emulation.  Shapeshifter provided a utility (forgot the name) to share files between the Amiga and the hardfile. I think that I made a second, larger hardfile and copied everything from the first to it.  I also DL'ed a copy of Stuffit and DiskCopy, available from most Mac sites.  If I recall, DiskCopy allows the "disk images" of the 18 or so install disks (the DL'ed archives) to be installed on the desk top.  When executed, the image of disk 1 runs an install script.  Sorry I don't remember this more acurately, but maybe it's still useful.  

  This ended when I upgraded to an 060 which Shapeshifter didn't seem to like.  When I found a source of cheap used Macs,  there was no need.

Good Luck

@ Cass

Thanks for the info.  I was always curious how fast a Mac would be on an 060.  When it stopped working I was very disapointed.

Has anyone got Limewire to run in Mac emulation on an Amiga?
