I'm sure somebody else has bitched about this before, but the problem
has still not been fixed.  Here is my situation:  I am trying to build
a clean "boot" floppy on a 1 floppy Mac.  The "obvious" way to do this
is to use the installer, so that I don't get any unnecessary resources
in my system file.  However, whoever wrote the Installer obviously
didn't have his brain in gear, because it installs things *ONE
RESOURCE AT A TIME*.  That means a disk swap for every one of the
(hundreds of?) resources in the system file.  This is an asinine way
to do things.  How about reading as many resources as possible at one
time from the source disk, then writing all of them to the
destination?  Should be able to complete in just a few swaps this way.
It could probably do even better with the "computing sizes" pass.
This requires fewer swaps, but still too many (should be able to do 1
pass over the master disk and 1 pass over the destination disk).

Will this problem ever be fixed, or should I resign myself to finding
a two floppy Mac whenever I want to make a new boot disk?
