The main differences would be if you tried copying the files with a program
that doesn't know how to properly copy resource forks or if you botched up
which files needed to be copied and/or where they need to be copied to.  The
installer just eliminates these problems.  Most people that have had
difficulty using new versions of system software have those problems because
they didn't think they needed to use the installer.
