Has anyone had this problem:?

Installed NU on a Mac SE with a Radius Acclerator/Two Page Display card
(version 2.0)....as soon as it tries to install the FileSaver init
the system crashes.
After that, the computer won't boot.  "Finder is missing or damaged."
and the system file has doubled in size!

We are running a generic system 6.0.5 - doesn't matter if other INITs or
not are loaded.

Thinking it was the accelerator card, I tried it on a Mac SE/30 with
no funny cards or whatever.

I *did* get it to install once...I took it off, then tried to put it on again.
This time it crashed again...doubled the system file's size and
now the partition table is trashed.  It inserted two bogus partitions
of size 0k before my regular boot partitions on the internal hard drive!
arg!

Is my copy of NU just bad, or has anyone else had this happen?
Please reply via e-mail because I have a feeling it's my copy...

Thanks!
