   There is a bug in the System 6.0.1 installer. It puts the Appletalk
stuff on your disk even if you don't have Appletalk. Therefore, if
you aren't using Appletalk, open up the system.setup folder in the
system folder on your boot disk, and trash any files that have Appletalk
in the name, or start with "Apt"... Anyone familiar with Installer
scripts want to take a hack at modifying the default script?
