Terminal method works for me, but not the service
Authored by: hombre on Jul 16, '02 01:24:17PM

I just mounted a remote copy of the new QuickTime installer. Whee! I was able to examine the contents with Pacifist and SNAX, although examining them with the Terminal was much faster, including the VolumeCheck script. One use for this would be to quickly decide whether you wanted to download such a package at all (esp. if us are stuck with a dial-up connection). I was tempted to try running the installer, but I decided there was likely no faster road to spinning-beachball hell.

On a less successful note, when I try to mount a volume (even a local one) with the Disk Copy service, the classic version of Disk Copy is invoked, even though the correct application open it when it is double-clicked.
