Mac OS X 10.2.5 Update CD

[maradong]

Yeah. I will none the less not buy the cd but download it as soon as it s on the servers

I think we will se 10.2.6 coming out as after the 10.2.5 there are up to 5 month before the release of panther...
There will certainly be another update!
( panther is supposed to be released in september or am i wrong ? )

 

[jpolk]

According to Looprumors, Panther is due in the autumn.

But to paraphrase...

I want my 10.2.5!!!
(and my Safari Beta 2)

Not exactly, it states quite clearly that it's also available now via "Software Update" for free. This will also be a downloadable update. Problem is that it isn't there to be downloaded yet, so why has Apple stated that it is in a posted page?

This seems like a screw up, and the page may get pulled or at least edited soon. A thread is starting in the Apple Forums...

Just in case any one is adding numbers of people waiting for these things, you can add one more.

I may have missed a detail somewhere, but if they are charging $20 for the update cd, why then, are they going to offer it as a free download later?

As posted already, it's for those people without internet connection or a very low bandwidth connection.

The $20 pays for printing/packaging, etc... Yes, you could argue that the wholesale is probably more like $3 but whatchagonna do. You are going to pay for having it on a CD to take anywhere. I don't have a CD burner etc... and want to carry it with me, etc... who knows. Apple and many others have done this in the past.

Not exactly sure about the details, but I think it's an authentication framework for secure communication.

Happy downloading!

Shoot! I check this thread, then I check the iPod thread and 10.2.5 is already out. Found out on Looprumors, while looking at their mockup of the ipod. Nice, by the way.

I bought the 10.2.5 CD because I have only the built in 56k v90 modem connection.

New hard drive: Install Jaguar from 10.2 CD, then upgrade with the 10.2.5 CD.
... or is that too simple?

I really wanted to add yet another Apple CD to my collection.

I hear where you're coming from. I only have dial-up at home, partly because I am having difficulty finding affordable equipment and services that will allow me to get DSL or the like. Where I live in the UK, all of the offered DSL modems have USB connectors and not Ethernet and so far all of the units I have tried have had no appropriate Apple USB drivers, other than those for OS 9.

Anyway, what I do is get someone with a high speed connection to d/l the required software updates and burn them onto a disk for me, usually a re-writeable, that way I can have a back-up of the latest SW update at the minimum of cost.
