System Update?

[Firerose]

So I got Snow Leopard 10.6.1-10.6.2 Intel AMD made by Hazard installed on my system and I finally have it all set up and working correctly. Now, I know I can do product updates, but if I install a system update will it fry my installation? I think it took me like 5 installs to get it here, I'd rather not have to do it again. I just want to know if I should ignore system updates.

I have that same version and I have been running system updates without a problem... DO however make sure you remove SleepEnabler.kext if you are using it, before you run any OS X version update (i.e. 10.6.2 to 10.6.3/4) as it will cause a kernel panic.

 

There are updated sleep enablers available that you can install after an update.

 

you may have to reinstall sound though, every update breaks it for most/all people.

Yes you can do the system updates, I have updated to 10.6.4 without any issues. However make sure as the above post said that you do remove sleepenabler.kext before updating and also clear extensions cache/repair permissions.

Thank you both for the information, I really appreciate it.

 

Edit: Update went just fine. Sound didn't even mess up. Thank you again.

What are your specs? If you have an AMD computer you need to do more than just update Sleepenabler.
