That's cool. Now, what's the best place to get the FPU-less math libs?

I've tried it both ways. VM doesn't seem to make any difference. (FYI, I
had tried the installer with my standard extension set and with *no*
extensions - not even Apple's, so VM had to be off.) The 32-bit addressing
was the only thing that made a difference.

I'm just gonna throw out a guess here but it seems like the 7.5.3 thing
must be what's making the installer puke. Maybe if I had the source for the
installer I could try to re-compile it using CodeWarrior 8. It's supposed
to be smart enough to avoid most conflicts with 7.5.3 and its related
extensions (i.e. it's got very up-to-date Apple libs). Dunno if that would
help or not but it might be worth a try.
