I am trying to install system 3.1.1 using the installer that came on
the System Installation disk from the "December 85" supplement.  When
I start the installer I get the option of installing
"Macintosh Plus (v 1.1b1)".
When I click this and try to install it on a disk, I get the message

   File "System" on System Installation is not the right
   date for "Macintosh Plus (v 1.1b1)

This is version 2.1 of the installer.  If I try using version 2.0
to install system 3.1.1, I get the same error message.  Yet I have
used version 2.0 of the installer to install system 3.0.

What's going on?  Which is the "bad" system, version 3.0 or 3.1, that
the warnings have been posted about?  Has anyone else had trouble using
the installer from the December 85 supplement?

Any help would be appreciated.
