I have seen this too.  It is a damn nuisance when using the installer
for PageMaker 4.0.  I bought the educational edition last week, after
having installed System 7.0, and I could not get it to read the second
disk because it always asked for the first one back after ejecting it. 
Finally I installed it on a nearby 6.0.5 machine, compressed
everything, and moved it over myself. . . hmph!  I presume this is the
same problem you fellows are discussing.
