Mac OS X 10.4.5 Released

I noticed that it now allows Intel Macs to install Flip4Mac. That should make a lot of people around here happy.
They must have a lot of monkeys banging on keyboards at apple. Everything is moving speed addict fast.
Really?
Now come on. The first OS update since the release of Macs based on an all-new architecture, and the fixes are just a bunch of mundane stuff like "printing to some Epson printer models?" (no offense to the people with those models of Epsons..)
What did they really fix in the "general operating system?"

Really? I haven't noticed. I haven't restarted since installing 10.4.4. I'm gonna DL but wait for more comments before installing. I'm not sure I wanna kill my uptime for this.jaynyc said:
Same thing for me. I've never noticed that before.Mitthrawnuruodo said:Funny... About This Mac reports that I'm running 10.4.5 even before I restarted, even before Software Update is finished...
Portable Home Directory

It's a feature on Mac OS X server that allows portable users to work offline with their home directory and then when they return to the network it syncs all changes (either way). Think that explains it all
6.4 Mb...so small, so very, very, small
Just to think my iMac got sent back for FrontRow issues when, in fact, this could have fixed it
Ah well, this will be fun!
What didn't Apple previously get right about daylight savings time?
[Edit: See answers in posts on the following pages.]
Can not work with out an Os Xserver
Is usefull for laptops as well as roaming clients in office environment. For home use you would be better or rsync'ing

Taken from Apple's 10.4.5 update info document:rikers_mailbox said:
"Files copied across a network via Portable Home Directories are now copied as temporary files until the transfer is complete, in case the network connection is interrupted before the transfer finished."
Wasn't that what Apple's "backup home directory to iPod" thing was all about?
Wasn't the 10.3.1 update super tiny? Like 1.3MB? It wasn't even really an OS update, it just fixed the FileVault feature from eating your info.
AppleMatt said:6.4MB?! This must be the smallest OS X point update ever!
Oh well. Safari, Dashboard and Epson printing. I use those three

I've checked that in the past, I think it always does that.
uptime
15:55 up 22 days, 3:52, 2 users, load averages: 0.26 0.32 0.33
Dang, time to reboot I guess.
I just replaced the MacOSX.tif in /System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contentsstridey said:
/Resources/ with the attached image (zipped so I could upload it). Any transparent tif in the right size can be used...
Edit: I might used this tip at ResExellence, a while back, but I'm not sure - I poked a lot aroung in CoreServices right after Tiger was released, looking for stuff I could mess with...
