FWIW, I updated my g4 powerbook w/o any problems related to things  
like wake-from-sleep (and of course, no trouble with fans).

It seems that the combo updates anecdotally have less trouble than  
the incremental updates. I've always downloaded the combo updates,  
and have never had any trouble. The big advantage of this is that I  
could reinstall the OS from my install disks, and then jump straight  
to the current system, if needed. I've never needed to do this, other  
than to change machines.
