Field Note #1 @Puttabong 2008-05-24

1. Navigate to /System/Library/CoreServices and control-click on Setup Assistant -> Show Package Contents.
2. Navigate to Contents -> Resources. Control-click on TransitionSection.bundle and click Show Package Contents.
3. Navigate to Contents -> Resources.
4. Intro.mov and intro-sound.mp3 can be found inside of the folder, they are seperated, though.

You can also watch it in HQ & with merged sound and video at ArsTechnica ↗.

Field Note #2 @naquaada 2008-05-24

It's very easy to merge video and sound with FFmpeg. But the installation of all the files is a bit bad...

Field Note #3 @WinLinMac01 2008-05-24

I was thinking may be we should modify that video for non-mac users, and welcome to the osx86 community instead. =p
Would that be a great idea?

Field Note #4 @naquaada 2008-05-24

No, definetively not. An OSx86 installation should look like a real OS X installation, no fixes.
