   -   Preinstalled on Macintosh IIfx 4MB/80MB internal hard drive version
   -   Preinstalled on a Macintosh 80MB external hard disk

What I want to know is whether getting the CD-ROM allows it to be run
on a smaller disk (i.e., whether you can use the CD-ROM itself for all
the read-only stuff - applications and so forth), or whether it all
needs to be moved onto a hard disk and run from there...
