I believe Apple lets you D/L if the OS is old enough. Systems through 6.0.x are
readily available. And I believe it's been mentioned here that 7.5.3 (or maybe
7.5.1) is also available, and you can D/L that and apply the 7.5.5 upgrade.

This, however, begs the question of installing MacOS with no OS on your Mac.
Same bootstrap stymie as installing MkLinux with no OS. You probably need
the CD.

Maybe you can borrow a CD.
