Unlike IIGS System Disks, which MUST be installed with the installer for
correct operation, HyperCard IIGS can be easily and safely installed by hand.
We provided the installer to provide easy, automatic installation for those
who aren't sure what they want to do.  But putting HyperCard IIGS on a
hard disk or network volume is as easy as creating a HyperCard folder and
dragging all of the files to it.

Rick also mentions that it takes some 3.5 Mb on his hard disk.  If space
is a premium, you'll find that most of the space is taken up by demo and
introductory stacks.  You can easily pull stacks out if you need to, and
little-used stacks can be run off of floppies with no problem (except speed).
