Hi I am currently running a T60(Core 2 duo, ATI X1400 card) with Jas 10.4.7 and would like to update to 10.4.8. Would I use the method you just described below? Also what do you mean when you say Step 5) Use boot options –v –f –s –x? How do I get to boot options and where would I type in -v -f -s -x? Sorry if I sound inept. Thanks!!!
