	ARGHHH! Never install a system with ANYTHING running! I ALWAYS install
off of floppies I've booted from so I have nothing interfering with the
installation. I've NEVER had a problem installing a Mac system (and I've
installed every system since 1.0 multiple times (except for maybe 6.0.6).
	This doesn't say I haven't had OTHER problems with INITs or
applications being incompatible with the new system.
