Installing Silverlight on OS X

So I have to use M$ silverlight to get access to course material.
The installer doesn't recognize intel macs as intel macs, so you have to do a little jiggery-pokery to get the plugin working.

Download Silverlight.2.0.pkg
Open Terminal.app
cd ~/Downloads/Silverlight.2.0.pkg/Contents/Resources
./preflight
cd ..
open .

This will open a finder window. Then double click on the archive Archive.pax.gz, this will produce a folder Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/. Open this directory and drag the file Silverlight.plugin to the directory ~/Library/Internet\ Plugin-Ins/.

then in Terminal
cd Resources
./postflight

I don't know if you even need to run the pre- and postflight scripts, but I figured they were there for a reason and that I might as well wave a dead chicken at it.
