This problem has been fixed, and a new installer and a new plugin 
that support hardware acceleration is pending in the distribution 
pipe. However before that occurs I believe the custom install should 
work.


For the curious the problem is that if you  install then delete say 
netscape on your macintosh hard disk, then the method I originally 
coded to find the browsers says, yes netscape exists, but then the 
installer gets confused because it can't find the browser, and 
attempts to cancel the install which doesn't work  quite right and 
you end up with that alias in the Squeak internet system perference 
folder.


The fix is to use the volume catalog on each local volume and hunt 
for the browsers. This is more time consuming, but also deals with 
the problem of having multiple browsers and multiple volumes. I have 
found many users are surprised to find they have multiple browsers on 
their hard disks because Apple installs both IE and netscape and over 
the years Apple and Netscape have made numerious changes to the 
folder layouts and locations so sometimes someone might have 6 
browsers on their hard disk.

Note This installer does NOT work with the carbon version of 
Netscape. A carbonized IE squeak plugin does exist, I'll look at 
getting instructions up somewhere on how to deal with that issue.
