System 6.0.4: Problems Installing on CD Installer Disk



I tried to upgrade our AppleCD SC Installer disk to System Software 6.0.4. I
selected "Minimum System Software for any Macintosh" and clicked Install. I
got an error message saying, "There is not enough room on the disk. 52K
available, 53K needed." I removed a couple of System documents and tried
again. I got the same message, except this time it said, "83K available, 84K
needed".

I removed more files from the System Folder on the CD Installer disk.
This time the installation proceeded without giving the error message.

Also, during the disk-swapping process (I was working on a single-floppy
system), there were two dialog boxes showing at the same time--one said to
insert the "CD Installer Disk"; the other said to insert the "System Tools"
disk.

I was able to complete the installation, but I'm curious about the problems I
encountered.

Can you explain?

We were unable to duplicate the situation you describe. However, the latest
version of the AppleCD SC software does not require the Installer. The
installation software is on AppleLink. Use this path:

Developer Services
Macintosh Developer Technical Support
Tools
CD-ROM

A Read Me file is also in the folder detailing changes in this release and
instructions for installation.
