I just changed from System 6.0.4 to 6.0.5 because of HyperCard 2.0.  I encountered an interesting problem.  I was trying to format my Jasmine DirectDrive 80 and it gave me the default of installation of minimal mac plus software.  When I changed to my internal drive (HD20) the installer recognized my SE.  Now comes the interesting part.  When I hit the 'customize' button and chose system software for any mac, appleshare, and laserwriter 5.2, it went through the installation normally and claimed that it com


pleted successfully.  BUT when I restarted, I got a happy mac followed immediately by a message "This system file may be damaged - the installer can fix this problem."  I tried re-installing, but no luck.  Then I tried installing the system on my internal drive and drag copying the result to my external HD.  That worked, fortunately, but I suppose this is a bug in the installer.
