	I have a new NeXT system on which 2.1 was incompletely
installed. Since 3.0 was so close to being released, I decided to wait
and do a complete install of 3.0. I hope to be able to do this next
week and have a few questions...

  1.	What I want to do is nuke the existing system and do a
	completely fresh install of 3.0 (i.e. replace everything --
	not just things that are new in 3.0). There are enough things
	missing from my copy of 2.1 that I don't want to risk those
	things not being installed when I go to 3.0.

	Is the installer smart enough to ensure this won't happen?

  2.	I have a Mac CD-ROM drive. Can I install from this? (It is a
	SCSI device and I have the appropriate cables, terminator,
	etc.)

	Thanks.

	Michael.
