| System Tools 6.0 comes with three "Minimal System" Installer scripts.

Can someone say, in detail, what the differences are between the "Standard
System" (as generated by Apple's Installer) and the "Minimal System"?  I do
not feel particularly comfortable allowing undocumented Installer scripts to
hack up my system resources.  I would feel a lot better about it if Apple
provided a detailed specification of what their Installer scripts do, and
why its being done.

P.S. Someone should start a company called "Look and Feel Software, Inc."
and register "Look and Feel" as their trademark.
