It's about time.

And all along I thought that was a problem with the programs.

I guess you're right.. compared to the PPC version, it is pretty big. oh well, cant do anything about it. How big was the last update? i guess i may have had to download it when i got my mac, but.. i cant remember.

I would still like an improvement on boot up times on G5 iMacs...

[RadishTM Veteran]

Awesome, thanks for the news! :D

Apple keep on cranking out the build goodness :happy:

Radish?

Took forever to boot up after restart..in fact, my iBook reset right before it loaded OSX. It's fine now though.

Wait why was your update smaller than the rest of us PPC users.... :huh:

reasons for the two boots on the ppc:

With the Mac OS X 10.4.6 system software update, PowerPC-based Macs will restart twice, instead of once, after the initial installation.

No offense but how is that an explanation of why it boots twice?

[macro]

I had the extra long (about 10-15 seconds) pause on the bootup the first time too, I restarted again and it's booting up normally though.

Going to get that overnight /methinks
