fix fake 10.5.6 combo install
For all of you who installed the fake 10.5.6 combo and who were unable to download the real **** via the software updater here is a quick way to download the regular intel update (not the combo) but it will be sufficient to finally update your system to 10.5.6
Go to the Terminal and type "softwareupdate -d MacOSXUpd10.6.5-10.6.5" (without the quotation marks)
Once downloaded the terminal will tell you to go to "Library\Updates" were you can find the correct update file.
Good luck

Wait a sec, wait a sec. Does that mean we can have a USB/Firewire hard drive that is read and writable by Windows and OS X without having to resort to 3rd party apps?
Well duh. We PGP WDE users are a veeeerrrryyyy special group when it comes to this sort of thing. I'm hanging around the pgp forums to see if someone can post some experiences.
But thanks for the heads up.
Installed 10.6.5 and a few moments later was greeted with this. Thanks Apple, generous as always.
Nice. Did it repeat or no?
I guess this is special. I don't see why I should use this file structure.

Performed a System update, which also included iPhoto and HP Software updates. Install went fine then on reboot I was stuck at the Apple logo with the circle indicator going round and round for a good 20-30 mins with no apparent progress (no kernel panics or anything). Turned off the machine and reboot. Same thing, stuck at the Apple logo with the indicator going round and round.
Am I toast? Didn't do a backup prior which I should have.

That's amazing... Older pc boxes will need updates though

You were always able to read/write to NTFS natively in Snow Leopard by adding a line in /etc/fstab via Terminal, but its unstable with external drives as it doesn't always mount. With support for exFat, no need to format external drives as NTFS to share between Windows and Mac.
Successor to FAT32 filesystem. No longer has the 4GB file size limit.
Try holding down shift during startup. After it is done start up normally and you should be good to go.
No but the system started bugging out on me big time. Sounds would crackle and fade out, and graphics were distorting.
So i had to do a complete maintenance workup: clear caches, rebuild launch services, permissions, PRAM reset etc.
Seems to be back to normal now but what a pain in the ass update.
I didn't know there was a 4GB file limit on FAT32. That would explain why I ran into issues with files over 4GB then.
Just tried that. Went all the way thru then it started booting normally. Trying again.
Edit: It booted about 3/4 of the way with the progress bar then it appears it was booting as normal but doesn't go anywhere. Rebooting with holding the shift key. This isn't looking promising.
Exactly. I was surprised that people decided to download and install an update from a random link.
So true. Dear god.
Adding this to NTFS (Paragon, 3G was way too slow) and ExtFS (Again, Paragon) and I'm pretty much set for compatibility
