I downloaded the 10.2.8 combined update and burned it to CD, and have
used it several times successfully. (I got tired of the download time
involved in trying to use the 'automatic update' method.)
Is it faster? I wonder why?
Hi David;
I have APPLE disks for 10.2.0
The 10.2.6 combined update, I have downloaded and burned a CD
The 10.2.8 combined update, I have downloaded and burned a CD
(The reason for the two CDs, is that the download time [56k dialup]
was significant, and any 'glitches' during the download, meant starting
over. I just couldn't see staying 'online' all that while if I could
avoid it.)
The actual time involved in the 'update' operation should be the same
(It IS the same file after all) just changing the 'overhead' involved
in doing the update.

I also have all the 'security updates' thru (can't find the CD, guess
I'll have to burn another before they get lost off of the HD) This
avoids Bunches of download times & frustrations.

Which brings me to an issue I have. I don't think I quite like this
software updater where everything is suppose to happen auto. Recent
case, I said yes to yet another Tiger OS update and I was given 2
choices after it came down: restart now or shut down!!!! I am still
miffed about this. Is the process so alzeimic that it can't let one
continue (especially on dial up) and it does its new refurbishing nex
time there is a startup? It then froze or so I thought? Sort of just
blue lit screen with X logo thingy not moving at all for at least 10
mins so I pulled plug. Restarted it and things seemed normal again...
Where is the update (obtained auto thru the updater?) if you ever need
it later to rebuild the OS from the original Tiger disk? I realise it
gets complicated because there is update after update and you will
need them all... Is there some rational way to do all this and keep
"them"? Or should one keep (of course) the original Tiger DVD and just
download the latest update when you need to re-establish the OS?
