Is it possible to install that system into hard drive
without any MacOS machine?  Yes, for many of us it's no
problem to use minimal MacOS and booter application or
extension, but imagine the situation that there's a m68k
Macintosh with some hard drive, no OS on it, and only
available other OS.  (DOS/Windows, unix, etc.)

Or, Network Install Disk in Apple which contains 7.5.3 and
Installer extended capability with FTP.

I don't know, only LC 5xx/6xx, or Quadras/Centrises?
