Hi all!

I just installed something that I didn't want to be installed. Is there any logfile somewhere telling me what files this package installed?

Get Pacifist (from Versiontracker or wait until CharlesS replies in this thread) to look into the package.
Nasrudin sat on a river bank when someone shouted to him from the opposite side: "Hey! how do I get across?" "You are across!" Nasrudin shouted back.

Thanks! With Pacifist I was able to see which files were installed.

Also, from Terminal you could run "lsbom /Library/Receipts/<the package>.pkg/Contents/<the bom>.bom

Also, before installing a package, you can use the Show Files menu command in Installer.
