Yeah, I remember software updates on dial-up. No fun. They were apt to
turn into overnighters, and if something happened to break the
connection, well...
I would recommend trying again through Software Update, piece by piece
this time. I mean, I *would,* but for the following questions
1. What's your previous history with Software Update in Leopard? Has
it run before without incident? Was that a long time ago or recently?
2. What's the Leopard installation/update history on your machine?
3. Have you ever run the program Monolingual in Leopard, or indeed, in
a previous OS X that Leopard was installed over?
4. If you go to Apple Menu>About This Mac, is the information
(including build and serial number) correct?
5. What is your current version of Safari?
6. If you go to System Preferences>Software Update>Installed Updates,
do you see anything that indicates that the updates that failed were
already installed earlier? (Wondering if there's something going on
with Software Update itself.)
7. Any other problems with downloads or installations recently?
This is just stuff I'd be asking myself if it was my interesting
problem. I'm not to be confused with an expert.
