Should read "Subject: Re: Hating the Mac OS X^W^W^W^W installers" I hate program installers and packaging systems. Even the ones that just get out of my way and DTRT most of the time, like the Ports system, piss me off because 99% of them don't do anything that I should need to do. NeXT got it right. A program is a complete entity, and maybe one in a hundred have a rational reason for having parts of itself stuck in umpty nine different places. For the rest, an appdir you can "mv", "cp -pR", or drag into place should be all the "installer" you need.
