Will OSX 10.5.6 Break the Darkten Install?

[John Wilson]

The current (and, I think, only) available upgrade for OSX through the standard upgrade route is 10.5.6. This new upgrade of OSX appears to be pretty extensive.

 

I am apprehensive that the latest OSX upgrade will break the Darkten-type install of OSX on the mini-9.

 

My mini9 is still on-order at Dell, so I have not yet tried the Darkten install process. If anyone has attempted to upgrade the Darkten install of OSX on the mini-9 to OSX 10.5.6, please post your results.

 

By the way, does anyone know if there is any way to selectively upgrade an installed OSX system to some level other than 10.5.6 ?

 

Thanks for your comments.

You can download the Delta and Combo updaters from apple's support website and ftp archive. It will allow you to update to any version, but not downgrade. Upgrading has to be done in a way that AppleIntelCPUPowermanagement.kext doesn't load (delete with sleep 1 script, or disable by the unload intel kext).

 

You are better off using a seperate drive for test-runs

and a real drive for day-to-day's.

 

Nothing about 10.5.6 YET.
