My PPC dual 2.3 G5 was offered a 168 MB download via Software Update, which I applied and so far so good.
Apple lists the 10.5.8 stand-alone version at 274 MB, and the Combo version at 759 MB. I suppose this is a sign that Apple has cut loose the PPC Macs early, and have a special smaller delta version for legacy Macs? Or perhaps they're giving us a custom, non-universal version, although that seems unlikely. AFAIK all the Leopard versions are universal, so that likely means the PPC Macs are getting less of an update than the intel Macs. I've seen many smaller delta versions in the past, but normally these are restricted to laptop, iMacs, and Minis with fixed hardware that have zero upgrade of hardware potential. I can't remember seeing a smaller update for a full-blown PowerMac. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ 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.
