As expected, there were some surprises ... some VERY RUDE surprises ... with the latest, and possibly the last update to 10.5, 10.5.7. At least in the one Hack which I updated today, the machine was "bricked" (that is, it was made unusable) by the update. Also, the smaller non-Combo updates have problems, and they may not download, or they may not install properly, so the much larger Combo Update should be one's starting point, whether a "Mack" or a Hack. The size of the Combo Update exceeds the capacity of CD media, so this update will have to be written to flash drive or to DVD media. Those with G4 "Macks" should consider a DVD as the USB is only 1.1. Those with Hacks should consider a flash drive as the USB is 2.0. However, at this time, no Hacks should attempt an update to 10.5.7. Instead, all Hacks should have the "Check for updates" option of Software Update set to unchecked (that is DO NOT CHECK for software updates). http://groups.google.com/group/hq-a <+> A home for the Hackintosh community.
