When I downloaded Skype, I noticed that, in place of a normal "disk image" icon, there was a custom icon, and when I double clicked on the icon, the window used a colorful image as the background, prompting me to drag the skype icon into the applications folder. How can I do that with my applications? Thanks, Jason ...
I'm too spoiled by Windows utilities that take a digital snapshot of your entire drive, which you can then restore from in the event of a drive crash. (e.g. like Time Machine for Mac OS X). Is there a similar way of doing this in Linux? ...

I'm looking for a way to get the .dmg path of a mounted disk image with just its mount point. I want to write a "simple" Finder service that ejects the disk image and trashes the accompanying .dmg. The ejecting is trivial, but I'm at a loss as to how to figure out the path of the .dmg, given just the mount point. diskutil doesn't seem ...
I created a backup disk image of my disk yesterday and the software told me to close all Windows programs to make sure the process finishes successfully. I did that, but I was wondering what happens when some program does write to the disk nevertheless during the process. Windows 7 is a complex system and surely various log files and su...
I need to clone CF cards (with a certain amount of custom functionality that precludes using off-the-shelf cloning tools). I need a proper image for this to work - I can't just copy all the files.

Hi, is there any standard approach which I've missed at school to dump C structure with nested linked lists on disk in reasonable way? What I don't want to do is: use protocol-buffers or any other like serializators, don't want to create JSON, XML or other I've few ideas: allocate accurate memory amount (or extend existing one) and...
