SUMM: RE: Attempt to install wrong version corrupts system

I had this problem when I loaded a subset from the version 4.0B CD onto
a system running 4.0.

I did get a warning so the problem is known to Digital. The warning
I got, however, did not accurately illustrate what was about to happen.

I don't remember it exactly but it said something like: If you are doing
an update to your operating system.... I did not continue reading as I
was not doing an update, I was loading an additional subset.

I would advise anyone seeing this warning to stop IMMEDIATELY because
continuing is as good as blowing away your operating system.
