because of the additional support for nvidia cards, 10.4.8 looks juicy 2 me

 

however, is it possible to upgrade without reinstallin or running the setup off of a 10.4.8 x86 dvd

 

I was wondering because as many of you know the 10.4.6 dvd is really just 10.4.4 with the 10.4.6 combined update, can the update be run by itself is what i am tryin to ask...

 

if no or not suggestable because u may replace kexts that contribute to a proper boot, then lemme know and this thread will close that question once and for all

managed to upgrade to 10.4.7, from what i read there is a decent chance that upgrading to 10.4.8 will render my os x install useless, nonbootable and such...

 

did anyone make the switch from 10.4.7 to 10.4.8 successfully?

 

I used the JaS 10.4.6 install dvd and the JaS 10.4.7 update.

 

Any advice would be helpful

 

Thanks

did anyone make the switch from 10.4.7 to 10.4.8 successfully?

 

I did, just today. My install was 10.4.4/5 myzar ISO, updated with 10.4.6Intel_V3 (Jas I think).

 

I added some steps and screwed myself up, the moral here is don't skip 10.4.7. I ran Jas 10.4.7 update and 10.4.8 update (for SSE3 only, there is one now for SSE2). All is well, machine run great.

 

Two things to mention, make sure you move the postflight script in the 10.4.8 update into the 'resources' folder, this smooths things out a bit.

 

second, I would recomend backing up your webkit.framework -in /system/library/frameworks/ I don't know if this is usual for most people, but I read others inthe 10.4.8 thread who had the same problem, something in the update sometimes breaks this. If you replace it with your old webkit and repair permissions all is well.

its there already, thats why i asked, seemed a bit ambiguous...

 

also is it normal for it to end sayin please try installing again

 

about this mac says 10.4.8 and the software updates show no updates

 

so does this mean im good to go? did anyone else get this error? also u mentioned the webkit.framework, how would i test it to make sure its well

some troubling issues...

 

first some abstract

using macvidia drivers on geforce 5700 personal cinema

updated from 10.4.7 to .8 using kiko update

 

now the issue

video is CRAZY

there are scanlines on the top half of my screen, if thats what u could call them, and lets say i move a windows the right off screen, it shows up as 4 windows, in like a scanline fashion, same with cursor.

 

system also takes longer to start up, if i move a window over the lines they disappear, its really odd like what happens when ur display draws bigger than the screen, altho thats not the same thing i think
