REDUCING 7.5 or 7.5.3 FUNCTIONALITY TO 7.1

The following is a custom install procedure for the free Macintosh System software
versions 7.5 or 7.5.3.  The functionality is reduced to that of System 7.1 + Update 3.0.
This is an option for those who have limited Hard Drive space and/or don't wish
to download 7.1.  The memory requirements are shown below for a Mac SE/30 20/100.
