Why? If I have a perfectly good system folder (+ ProDos, Icons, and any basics I need) what is wrong with copying it all directly? The Installer is a pain to use if you only have one 3.5 drive (I'm not sure I was even able to do it), which is all I normally have since with a hard drive you don't need more than one for almost any operation.
