Just an FYI, command+shift+4, space bar, select window to screenshot. Makes much sexier screenshots. ;)
Good grief- Would it really pain Apple that much to tell us what issue they think they have fixed? Faced with the need to upgrade drives for more storage capacity, I was having a really bad time installing onto new mirrored drives from a TM backup and figured it was because Lion prefers to create its own invisible recovery partition. The restore process took hours at a time and I would like to know whether it's worth blowing another weekend putting the mirror setup back in place. The mirroring worked beautifully before the attempted storage upgrade. Sheesh.
Why would you say that? Isn't it possible that this was simply a crucial fix that couldn't wait for 10.7.4?
You should try using Time Machine. it's the best thing ever invented besides ice-cream. :D
Well, seriously, it has saved my butt many times.
I have never seen something like that before, when I was a Windows user.
Well, the package doesn't really contain files to install. Everything happens in the postinstall script: "./Tools/injectfse ./Tools/DeferredInstallFixup.file_list"
This seems to generate fake fsevents for the files listed in DeferredInstallFixup.file_list. I didn't look closer at that but I guess it's done to guarantee current versions of those files get pushed on the TimeMachine backup.
