Why?
I have always recommended that users running Mac OS X NOT install Dave. It's redundant, and I've seen it cause real problems with crashes, inability to connect to Windows servers, and general kludginess.
Mac OS X works well without it. Why would you install it?
Oh, and it's a real pain to remove.
