    Installer for Catalina

    Is the Installer for Catalina still available? When I go to the App store, it doesn't show up in the Search. I downloaded it at one time, but it's not listed in my Purchased Apps. There are some links found on a Google search. When I click on them, they bring up Big Sur download. Thanks.

    Three different InstallAssistants

    For the macOS installer app, under Contents/MacOS, there are three different InstallAssistant executables that seemingly look the same. Does anybody know the difference between InstallAssistant InstallAssistant_plain and InstallAssistant_springboard? Thanks!

One thing I'd like to try is modifying the installer itself, so that you can install with the default Leopard installer and use the Setup Assistant. However, I can't figure out how to do this, and the...

    So my external SSD broke and I lost a few files I was hours away from backing up. One of those files was my Safari 7.1.8 installer (the last version for Mavericks before they jumped to 9.x and changed some visual elements).
