Alright, just received my copy of Leopard off amazon today and promptly did an archive & install with no hitches whatsoever. Only thing I had to do was manually go enable the setup assistant after installing so I could watch the intro movie 😀 (disabled it afterward).

Anywho, out of nowhere, after I logged into Leopard, I find the following sitting in my root drive:

attachment.php


Being slightly worried now, since 'basesystem.pkg' is exactly that, the base system package, I opened it to find two files, 'ACL.plan' and 'AdditionalEssentials.plan'. Plus the folder is read-only so I can't remove it temporarily to see if it breaks anything..

Anyone got any clues?

Deep Thought ... nice.

Possibly left over from the archive & install?

ps. So long and thanks for all the fish.
 
Heh, 'Deep Thought' seemed appropriate 😉

I managed to remove the folder, sudo rmed it through terminal, have it backed up just incase. Going to reboot now and hope nothing breaks, wish me luck!

Shh, with Time Machine what can go wrong!?
 
No external drive -- yet! -- to have TM enabled 🙁

And since I'm back and apparently unharmed, I guess deleting it isn't so big an issue, thanks!
