- I also have this problem with Word Perfect and the latest MAcinTax.
-
- It seems to be a problem with the INSTALLER.
-
- I survive by installing on a real MAC, then use an archiever compresser
- to put it back on floppies that don't need to be INSTALLED.
-
- Another input. A friend (R. Dutt on the net) suggested that the following
- also works:
- 1. copy each disk to be installed to a separate directory.
- 2. tell INstall that the disk it wants is in that directory rather than
- a real floppy.
-
- Hopefully others can comment on this INstaller problem and solutionig.
