MacBook Pro 2.4 (Mid-2007) with 10.5.5 asked for a 377MB updater.
Mac Pro 2Ghz (original, 2006) with 10.5.5 asked for a 190MB updater.

The Unibody MacBooks have a separate trackpad preference in System Preferences. So instead of the trackpad settings being in with Keyboard and Mouse, it is under trackpad on all Macs that have a trackpad.

[JMP]

Yes, it is out. I was gonna post, but I can't post new threads...! Why?
I can't even vote? Why???

10.5.6 = 190M on my 2.2Mhz Santa Rosa White MB.

[PeteB]

Woah. It took a while to reboot after that update. I almost thought it had crashed for a while then.

It took really quite long to install and did the double restart thing.

Apart from that my computer is just like it was 5 minutes ago without some bugs.

I have the same MBP as you...hope we get the 4-finger swipe.
But I'm just hoping this is more stable than the 10.5.5.…that update gave me so many problems
