Well, there are a significant number of bug-fixes.  There are some
patches to 32-bit Color QuickDraw which make it more reliable in the
single-Finder environment, some crash-avoiding patches in the new Sound
Manager, some enhancements in the Script Manager, and some other
patches as well.

The 6.0.4 Installer is far easier to use than the older one.  It's
actually possible to install 6.0.4 onto a floppy disk, using a system
with only one floppy drive and no hard disk!  This was effectively
impossible with the old Installer, due to its habit of performing
billyuns and billyuns of disk-swaps.
