That is good news indeed. I thought 100% of the people that had an inability to boot their installed system and therefore unable to reach the released patch to the repair program would fail to be able to use the install disk to repair their installation sufficiently to boot sufficiently to be able to reach the patched repair program. If as you say, this broken installation disk only affects a few people, then I can understand the attitude of 'why bother'.

The facts are that important parts of 10.3 were released broken and the fixes can't be distributed by 'updates' unless those updates are included in the boxes people are now receiving in the mailbox...and it doesn't appear that they are.
