First thing I always do after a system install, even
doing a custom install, is check the Control Panels
and Extentions folders for items that are for things
the Mac does not have.

A pet peeve of mine is the 8.6 update. It has no
custom options at all. No matter what Mac you're
running it on, you get a slew of useless items
installed. Why does it install USB and Firewire
on the x100 series PowerMacs??? Apple's installer
programmers must have been quite a bunch of lazy bums
when they made the 8.6 update without any (or very
minimal) automatic detection of what model of Mac
it's being installed on.
