	Well, the Installer is very very picky... But not irrationally
so. (At least not completely irrationally)

	I suggest you keep a 'virgin' system disk, and then have another
one that you have done with whatever you want..

	That is sort of moot since you have a hard drive and won't be 
booting off of floppy often, but you will have to get a virgin copy of
the System Disk to formally Install everything..

	You -could- just copy your whole System Disk to the hard drive,
although people always suggest you don't do that...
