Hmm, I thought I used the Installer correctly . . .  though I've got a
somewhat unusual way of doing it: I created six 800K partitions on one of
my "scratch" SyQuest cartridges, copied the six disks to them, and then
boot from either the System.Disk partition or the Install partition on
whatever machine needs updating. A complete installation takes somewhere in
the neighborhood of two minutes, three if you count spinning up the cart so
it will boot. 

Neat way to make copies of the disks for others, too, as I only need to
have one 3.5" drive handy at a time, and there aren't any other floppies to
keep track of. I was _born_ lazy. ;-)
