I was having problems with system 6.0.5, every time I tried to install it:
it installed reasonably well using the customizable installation procedures,
but would get confused nevertheless when it came to the newer LaserWriter
drivers.  Similarly, once it was up and running, it was subject to pretty
quick likelihood of crashing an applicaiton and/or the system.

Rather than try to distinguish what was causing what, suffice it to say
that the following resulted in a happy system 6.0.5 running on my Mac II:

	a.  Use the easy install option; for some reason, this install
	    procedure makes it through all the way without complaining
	    that the LaserWriter 6.0 driver I had with 6.0.4 was newer than
	    the LaserWriter 5.x driver it kept trying to install in its
	    place.

	b.  Replace your SuperClock! 3.8 with SuperClock! 3.9.  It's
	    claim to work better with Multifinder is apparently true
	    (much more true!).

Though I haven't attempted to pinpoint whether it was a or b or the combination
thereof, everything now appears much happier.  Anybody who might have had
these same problems (and I've seen several posts to this effect), might want
to retry one or both of the above.
