Well, it worked for me. I did have to reinstall my PS2 and Audio kexts though. This meant using a USB keyboard after the second boot. As previously mentioned (and just like the 10.5.7 update) OSX rebooted during the first boot post update.

Why always combo?

Perhaps because you can update in a controlled environment in case something goes wrong - and look into the package to see the kexts updated ?

 

In my case I'm still in 10.5.1 from iAtkos 1.0ir2 on two laptops with Voodoo 9.5.0., it's the only distribution which never gives me a kernel panic (even for 6 months, not even once).
