But it won't mount fine (warning displayed or the very user centric error message about the lack of a mountable something) on 10.4. You have to fix it in 10.4 in most cases. - You can have a disk image mount fine on Mac OS X 10.4. But not on 10.5. You have to fix it in 10.5 in most cases. - My favorite: You can have a disk image mount fine on 10.4. It can mount fine on 10.5 if you download it using Safari and Safari is configured to automatically mount the disk image. But if you later double-click the disk image to mount it on 10.5, then it won't mount fine. I'm hitting certain 10.4 FileVault sparseimages where if you use "hdiutil attach" to mount them in 10.5, they will simply fail. If you however do "open /path/to.dmg" you get the alert about "Mounted with reduced functionality" and the image mounts correctly. My users are rather incredulous that they have home directories that Tiger deems ok, but Leopard doesn't. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
