- Here is something that I ran into by accident (kinda)...
- I found that if you do a disk copy (insert the disk into floppy drive,
- drag the floppy icon on to HD) to HD all in the same folder, and then run
- the installer, you can save alot of time and disk swapping... BTW I also
- run a SE (vintage 1986,first and only owner, very high mileage) at home...
-
- As for the installer 'playing' with the System folder...
-
- MS,
- You have already shown us what you can do with DOS (Damaged Operating
- System), please do not do it to the Macintosh!!!!!!
-
- My System folder is mine!!!!! Not yours!!
-
- If you are going to do "things" to the system, could you please be polite
- enough to give the user a report?!?! Aldus does it!! Why can't you!!
-
- Russ,
- Thanks for the smile this morning!! and I hope that you are back up and
- running!!
-
- There are a few of us on this side of the puddle that have simular feelings!!
