at the top level of my drive, along with applications, library, system, documents, updater, users.


i'm on 10.6.6. the folder contains 30 files, 25 of them are .pkg files and 5 are named:


file:///Mac%20OS%20X%20Install%20Data/ia.log

file:///Mac%20OS%20X%20Install%20Data/index.product

file:///Mac%20OS%20X%20Install%20Data/MacOSXInstaller.choiceChanges
