Not For Finder
Authored by: cycomachead on Mon, Nov 19 2007 at 3:50PM PST

I should note that running /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/Finder doesn't work due to the fact that the Quicktime framework is missing. ( I dunno why Finder 10.5 requires QT?!?!?)

Also this should work for 10.4 and more. It's interesting to note that on the 10.5 install DVD the man command isn't installed (which sucks!!!!!) and it was there in 10.4 :-(.
