Wow, ok, I didn't know that. My 7.3 CD image certainly isn't like
that; it's bootable into standalone BACKUP. I've burnt it to physical
disks several times, and installed VMS many times from them, on lots of
machines.
Surely they knew the other approach wouldn't be terribly useful?

Never mind what I said.? *sigh*? Turns out there is both a zip of the CD image AND
(why, I don't know) zip of the image backup of the CD.? Somehow the other night I
missed seeing the image ZIP and unzipped the backup.? So you *can* download a working V7.3
CD image from HPE.
Too many late nights this week...

Waitaminute...so the disk image that you generated by reading a
bootable 7.3 CD differs from the HPE-distributed 7.3 file?? Does the
latter not contain standalone backup at the beginning, etc?
Yes.? The file I
downloaded from HP (just two weeks ago) is a backup
save set zipped into an archive. It's not a disk image. Well, unless the
backup saveset is a of a diskimage. But I don't think so.
