I just downloaded the new finder/system 5.5/4.1 and have a few questions.
First, after trying to update my disks with the new system I found that
it is approx 109K Bytes bigger that 4.0.  I assume that this is so it
can be compatible with the MAC II.  I have a Mac SE, with two floppies and
find it impossible to update any system disks when the new system is 109K
larger.  
-- First, can the system be stripped down for non-MacII machines - and if 
not, what are peeple supposed to due that have SE's with two floppies???

The minimum system file (1-DA and only the required FONTs) used to be (for
4.0) approx 80K, now with 4.1 its approx 190K, and after an average amount
of fonts and DA's are added, I have a system file that about 400K - (ouch!)

Any answers?

** Also, the new system 4.1 does not fix the SE's slow upper drive - maybe
later?
