System 7.5 Update 1.0: Why Skip Disk 4? Disk Contents List 4/95



Can you tell me what pieces of system software are on the fourth disk of the new System 7.5 Update 1.0 disk set?

I have several customers who are concerned that the Installer does not ask for the fourth disk during installation. Although they and I both know that the Installer is smart enough to only ask for what it needs, I would like to calm their concerns about this installation.

After a little bit of experimentation with the installation diskettes, I have found what each disk contains. I have listed the results at the bottom of this article.

As you can see, most of the information on the fourth disk, "System 7.5 Update 1.0 - 4", pertains to PowerTalk updates with the exception of the Automated AppleScript updates. So, if a user is not using PowerTalk or AppleScript on their system, the Installer is smart enough to know this, hence, it does not ask for the fourth disk.
