The installer that is there is the exact same installer that is on the
beta0 CD-ROM and that's not a coincidence. It's important that our
installers get tested thoroughly, too. When we made the CD-ROM we
figured people would either install the DEMO version or the
full-featured version but not both.
That assumption was wrong, at least for this intermediate stage where
few people have the CD-ROMs, so we'll make it so our installers
install the DEMO versions somewhere other than where the non-demo
versions are installed. Then we'll use that new installer for further
demo releases. This will take a little bit of time just because we
have so many other things that are higher priority.
