Ah so... It does sound like an installation problem with 8.5, doesn't it?

As an aside, 8.5 may be the greatest thing since sliced bread but my friend
with a new Blue G3 is having a fairly bad time with his SCSI devices and
with a (now) incompatible sound card, and I reckon that sticking with 8.1
is by far the safest thing for me to do. It has the occasional problem-
actually just one, with the alias link to Eudora attachments, due to the
fact that I am using HFS; if I was using HFS+ there's another Eudora
gotcha, apparently both due to a OS bug. Damned if you do, damned if you
don't... But I think I prefer to watch others experiment with 8.5...
