10.4.11 upgrade for iBook G3/700
Howdy, I have a very nice iBook G3/700 now thanks to someone on the LEM Swap list. It is a nice upgrade from the G4/400 tower. The upgrade on that tower with a QS CPU did not work as well as I hoped, but I'll try again later. For now, I am wondering about OS upgrades. It came with 10.4.6. I am downloading the 10.4.11 PPC updater now. Before I install it, I'd like to know if there is anything I should be worried about. I have plenty of free disk space(24 gig). Should I apply the update, or is there some reason to stay with 10.4.6 or some other version?

You won't be able to install the non-Combo update, it only updates 10.4.10 to 10.4.11. It's always a good idea to have a copy of the most recent Combo Update, but after installing it, you should use Software Update for the others unless your connection is flakey, or you're psycho about having copies of everything you install. You can set Software Update to download only, which gives you control, and a permanent copy, but lets Apple figure out which software you need. I use Software Update. After installing the 10.4.11 Combo Update you may need to run Software Update more than once to get all the current Security Updates. By all means, install all the latest Tiger Updates. 10.4.11 was released Nov. 14, 2007, nearly two years ago. It's the final release of Tiger. No version of Tiger is better.

Make backups. Let Software Update apply the combo and all the other updates - java, itunes, safari, etc. Make backups. - Dan. -- - Psychoceramic Emeritus; South Jersey, USA, Earth. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
