Problems installing Tiger (and problems it may have caused)

[kinghajj]

I just got Tiger today. When I installed it, the Installer crashed when trying to install "iCal" (I skipped the "DVD Verify" step). Next time, I let the Installer verify the DVD. At 68%, it got an error.

After I cleaned the disc, I try to reinstall. I got the same error at 68%, but decided to let the installer try to install again. This time, the Installer crashed at the "Additional Fonts" package. So, the next time, I customized the installation to skip the "Additional Fonts" package. This time, the Installer completed fine!

When I booted into Tiger, I noticed that all my applications were displayed with their full name (i.e. "iMovie.app").

My two questions:

1. Anyone know where I can get a copy of Additional Fonts.pkg?
2. Anyone know what's causing the application names to be displayed in full?

Thanks for your help.

Look at the "Advanced" finder preferences and see if "Show all file extensions" is checked.

Thanks! That solves one problem.
