Display a list of files in package while in Installer

If you press Command+I while in the OS X Installer, a small window displays, showing the contents of the package about to be installed.

[kirkmc adds: This is great; I don't know why we haven't had this submitted before. I tried this with a number of installer packages. In most cases, the window shows the contents of the .pkg from the very first window. However, when checking on the Mac OS X 10.7.3 Combo Updater, clicking the disclosure triangle next to the name of the update in the file list window displayed "The file listing isn't yet available," but the file list then showed up a few seconds later. Note that all you can do is view the file list; you can't copy it.]
