The Combo software updater will update any machine. Much bigger download
usually but if you are updating multiple machine much easier. We have at
least 6 different types of Mac here and that works for us.

Security updates are the same.

Subject: Software Update, finding the package?

Perhaps someone has an idea for this.  My dad has a shiny new iMac (PPC
of course), but unfortunately he ignored my advise and went with Telstra
as a ADSL provider, and so he has a measly 200MG/month limit. 
Software Updates probably exceed that each month all by themselves!

I can download and keep packages on my Mac, burn a CD and sneaker-net it
to his house to install, but since it isn't an identical Mac, who knows
if they are the same packages.  What I want is a way to find out from
Software Update on his Mac, what it wants to download, so I could
download it here and than install it there.

Any ideas if this is possible?

Thanks,
    Peter.
