the image lives where?
Authored by: greed on Feb 03, '03 10:59:38AM

IIRC, the file goes to .../Temporary Items/UID#/Cleanup At Startup
Where UID# is your POSIX UID, and "..." is either empty string, or /Volumes/SomeVolumeWithEnoughSpace.

At least, I found it would automatically switch volumes when the system volume was too full. This was a problem, because LaCie's old FireWire-IDE bridge (CDRW-8x4x16 era) and Maxtor's old FireWire-IDE bridge (original 80GB) do not play well with each other, and it kept putting the master image on the Maxtor FW drive.

i can't find the file. does it have a common name or is it randomly generated?

i checked in every 501, Temporary Items, Cleanup At Startup, tmp folder on my system and every path with those names in them. i would think that it defaults to /tmp/501/Cleanup At Startup but all i have in that folder is com.phasic.PatchNub_00012080 weighing in a 20k...
the search continues...
