Tired of reinstalling

I'm tired of reinstalling to go through the setup of OS X.
I love the music when it says Welcome in a dozen languages, but where is it? I hear it only once every time I reinstall OS X.
Is it a file somewhere? Can it be downloaded from the net? Anybody love this so much they bothered to check?
 
Uhm...no.
I've never gotten a chance to hear this, every time I've installed OSX (twice) my sound was off. :(
 
Between 4 computers and 2 versions of OS X(10.0.3 and 10.1) I've heard that sound 6 times and it's sooooo sweet
 
Not that this directly answers your question or anything, but... The track in question is by Kruder and Dorfmeister. I can't remember off the top of my head if it's on the KD Sessions album or the DJ Kicks compilation, but either way they're both excellent records worthy of a listen.

I'll check later which album it is and what the track is called, and if anyone really wants it I can make the mp3 available.

It's called Sofa Surfers by Sofa Rockers, according to CDDB/FreeDB and appears on Disc 2 of the K&D Sessions by the afore mentioned Kruder and Dorfmeister. It's one of my favourite CDs; there's a lot of really sweet downtempo stuff in the collection...

I'm certain you could find it on LimeWire, (Disc 2, track 2) but I'd highly recommend that you get the CD (its a 2 disc set). It's worth it...
 
There's a CD? Oh jolly...are all the tracks as good as the little part I heard here? Never mind that, I'll buy the CD anyway.
 
If I understand what you guys are in search of, it's actually pretty easy to find:

/System/Library/CoreServices/Setup Assistant/Contents/Resources/intro-sound.aiff

Note: Setup Assistant is a package. To open it via the Finder, control-click on it and say "Show Package Contents".

Of course, the song fades at the end, so it'd probably be better to find the whole music file on LimeWire anyway.
 
It's not really that hard.

The OS launches the setup assistant every time you reinstall, right? Well I thought that that would probably be a core service of the system, like the Finder and the System finder. Indeed it is, and when I double click it, it notifies me that it only runs on startup. So logic suggests that the file's in there.

So it's pretty easy from there -- you open the package contents, open the Contents folder (which is the only folder inside the package), and then open up the Resources file where all the resources are kept. Lo and behold, there it is.

So you see I don't work at Apple, but I should be. ;)
