	Where the installation is messed up is that if you have an
	existing Windows 3.0 directory, it doesn't recognize this and
	overwrite, it just complains that you don't have enough space.

	It seems that if it is smart enoguh to figure out everything
	about your system, that it should be able to install on top of
	itself without counting that disk space as used.

. . . . . .

I'm glad that it DIDN'T do that.  I'm fearful of installation programs
that clobber any of my existing files.  If I want my existing files to be
clobbered, I'll delete them myself, or do something else that is appropriate.
