Oops...that's what I get for not looking before posting.

All Systems up through 7.5.0, even when they came on CD, were 
designed to be installed from floppies. The CDs were arranged with 
folders for each floppy disk.

I just put images for the floppies from my LC580 installation CD (7.5.0) Here:

You can download the floppy images for the updaters to take you up to 
7.5.3rev2 or 7.5.5 from right near the URL I mentioned in the other 
email.

HTH, & sorry for the confusion,
Mike
