There is a BIG problem with installing from the hard disk.  After I had my
system set up on the hard disk, I went ahead and tailored the System file to my
needs, i.e. I took the calculator and alarm clock DAs out, and also removed a 
bunch of fonts.

When I went ahead to install a system onto a floppy, I got errors to the effect
of: 'RSRC error; driver alarm clock not found'.  I replaced the alarm clock and
did the whole thing over again; this time I was told that the calculator wasn't
found.  Next I was told that FOND Courier wasn't found.

Could someone tell me why the installer needs those resources?
