I'm probably the only one who feels this way, but conformity be
damned!
 
I don't like the new System Installer.
 
Primarily, I don't like the fact that I can't figure what to put on a
hard disk volume so that I can do installations for any machine onto
floppies without swapping disks in and out of my own floppy drive. On
one hand, it means I can remove the Installer partition from my drive
and get some more space, but on the other hand installations are going
to be a pain from here on out.
 
I was also pretty peeved when the Installer appeared to be replacing
my Scrapbook, but was later relieved to find out that it wasn't.
 
Finally, I don't like the way that I actually have to scroll the
Custom installation list a few pages before I arrive at the SE/30
option.
 
What was so terrible about the Installer the way it was?
