Not to rain on the parade but isn't it pretty common for installers to copy the files to a backup location instead of overwriting them and then the note reads that will happen and what the location on the backup is?

Hi Greg M.,
We put that note there at the
beginning of the installation to help save
the "installer" and inform him what was
about to happen. That way the user/installer
can make an informed decision. I hope that
a newbie would be smart enough to read it...
however...I realize that some of the old fogies
know too much already, so....of course they
will refuse to read it...and ...some of them will
consequently experience some difficulty.....

I was being ironical. But you have summed it up pretty well.


what more can one do? Send the "information
police" to their door with a restraining order?
"You are here by notified that you are prohibitied
from installing Arachne until you have sworn to
thoroughly read and absorb all installation
instructions, under penalty of loss of your
modem connection."

LOL! Yeah, that might do it <GGGGGGG>
