I'm not a classic Mac OS expert, but the way it works seems extremely convoluted and un-Apple-like. Instead of copying the mini system folder to the desktop and asking the user to copy the files to the real system folder, couldn't they just automatically copy the files to the system folder?



If they did, users who customized their System file would complain that it destroyed their data.


Those users would probably refuse the recovery and boot the system from a CD/floppy to recover manually.
