	I installed system 6.0.5 last night on my Mac+, and I had some 
problems.  I solved them, and in retrospect, I should have forseen them.  
The problems stemmed from (I believe) running init cdev on my hard disk.  
Installer didn't like the fact that Easy Access and Responder were not 
Startup Documents, but Documents.  I think this is due to the way init cdev 
handles startup documents.  This has been talked about before, but I didn't 
listen to most of it :(

	Anyway, I was able to get around this by removing both Easy Access 
and Responder (which I don't use anyway), and replacing them with the new 
copy from the distribution.  Then, Installer worked fine.

	Now, I'm sure that there's a better way...  (here come the flames!)
