Sorry, Chuck - I misread the part about the Safari update difficulty,
which sent me off into outer space with a lot of irrelevant speculation.
3. Have you ever run the program Monolingual in Leopard, or indeed,
in a previous OS X that Leopard was installed over?
That would be a yes.
This may or may not bear on the interesting problem, but I have heard
that use of Monolingual can have unpredictable consequences on
subsequent updates. I ran Monolingual on Tiger 10.4.11 and haven't
noticed any trouble since, but I was fortunate to run across an
article on prudent and cautious use of Monolingual before I tried it.
I haven't run Monolingual on Leopard 10.5.8 (which I didn't install
over Tiger but on a fresh partition), but then again, the old Tiger
Home folder did migrate to Leopard. Still, though, no obvious problems
have been noted as a result.
I'm glad Bruce chimed in on the "client" question. I wanted to say 'go
ahead, don't worry about it,' but looking at the Apple download page,
I got confused myself. They make it confusing. Everything is somehow
"recommended for all users." Gee, that helps.
Very frustrating, waiting on the slow progress of updates. But is your
dial-up connection really *that* slow ordinarily? I had great,
reliable dial-up service with Earthlink for years. I think it was
about as good as a dial-up connection can be. Even so, dial-up is dial-
up, and any big updates or other large downloads were projects rather
than routine tasks. I remember it well, and with no nostalgia.
