This might deserve a Read The Fine Manual, but how do I install xcode
1.2 from the developers site? It's in segments, 21 of them, and not a
simple dmg or whatever I've seen it as before.
The segments are all MacBinary encoded (.bin suffix). You can use
Stuffit Expander to expand the primary segment (the one that doesn't
contain any 00n numbers in the filename. You can then double-click on
the resultant .dmg file. I've found that, at least under Panther, you
don't need to unarchive the remaining .bin files. You'll end up with
the disk image mounted on your system.
What I do though is to unarchive all the .bin files anyhow. I then
use DiskUtility to burn the image to CD-ROM. Note that on systems
prior to Panther, burning images was a feature in DiskCopy.
Just thought I'd chime in and say that the disk imaging subsystem can
cope perfectly well with MacBinary'd files. I tend to just use "hdiutil
mount Xcode_1.2_7K249.dmg.bin" or similar from the terminal (ever since
the whole disk image GUI debacle in 10.3 - the person behind the
decision to get rid of Disk Copy should be shot).
