- The installer that is there is the exact same installer that is on the
- beta0 CD-ROM and that's not a coincidence. It's important that our
- installers get tested thoroughly, too. When we made the CD-ROM we
- figured people would either install the DEMO version or the
- full-featured version but not both.
-
- That assumption was wrong, at least for this intermediate stage where
- few people have the CD-ROMs, so we'll make it so our installers
- install the DEMO versions somewhere other than where the non-demo
- versions are installed. Then we'll use that new installer for further
- demo releases. This will take a little bit of time just because we
- have so many other things that are higher priority.
