Mac OS X 10.5.2 Inches Closer... Build 9C23 Seeded

Solution found!!!
Ok, now get this:
1.) Unplug external hard drive from AEBS
2.) Plug external hard drive into Mac
ZOMG!
Ok so today, just for *****s and giggles, I decided to attach my LaCie drive to my AEBS and I got a connection failed...what a freakin joke. APPLE FOR GOD SAKES FIX THIS PROBLEM. WE PAID FOR THIS OPTION SO FIX IT!!!
BTW I gave up Time machine and airdisk support a long time ago. I just want the AEBS to consistently and reliably detect my HD's. Is that so much to ask?

It usually looks nice, but it can be horrible with some backgrounds, so I have been using Leopaque which even lets you control the whiteness of a solid menubar
ok that sounds good. But it's a shame the updater can't do it. thanks for the link
SU in Leopard will pause in the middle of downloads if you hit the cancel button. The next time you start SU it will resume where the download left off.
It all ready works, sort of.
Any drive (USB, FireWire or otherwise) attached to a Mac running Leopard Server can be used as a networked Time Machine volume.
Since the AFP and sharing engines are (more or less) the same on Leopard Client and Server, it should be trivial to set those flags and get it running on Client.

I'd love if they can fix the damn thing so that the whole router doesn't freeze when transferring several gigs over the wireless network to the airdisk.
I agree, there are lots of issues, and not just the "eye candy" people keep talking about - the transparent menubar, Stacks etc. There are some issues that need to be dealt with urgently eg logging into proxy servers.
Roll on 10.5.2!!
Roll on 10.5.2!!
I'd love to know whether its a firmware issue or a Mac OS X issue; given that the same issue occured when using 10.4.x and transferring over the network from non-Mac clients.
Sorry, but being able to see a menu bar (translucent menu bar) or losing functionality from Tiger (Stacks) is not about 'eye candy', it's about being able to use the OS as efficiently as the previous version...
I'm not saying other, less visible stuff shouldn't be dealt with too, but there's no need to trivialise the issues people have with the menu bar and Stacks as if they are just about how pretty things look, because that isn't the reason so many people have complained about them.
But yes, roll on 10.5.2!
I'd have to agree with you. These updates may seem like simple "beauty"-updates to Leopard, but these updates will speed up how people are able to function on Leopard. This is especially true with the stacks. With the list view on Stacks, it will be so much easier to access files even faster than ever (well... that's a figure of speech.)
I think we will need to see a new version of the AEBS firmware first. Then, maybe, in 10.5.3 we will get Time Machine working to AirDisk.
I'm not sure that I understand what you mean. The wireless N AEBS is out as is time capsule, all it needs is firmware.
Yes, but my point is that there are more serious, fundamental issues that may affect a small number of people (myself included), and if it wasn't for FireFox, I would be furious with Apple that I was left with no internet access due to Leopard not being able to deal with proxy servers. Apparently this issue was fixed in 10.4 and has now resurfaced in 10.5, why? On the discussion forums this has been noted as early as November.
Have a look at Apple discussions here regarding this major issue which is affecting those of us obliged to go through a proxy server.
I'm sorry if I was a bit dismissive about "eye candy", but it is a minor issue IMO, in comparison, when all your internet based apps crash and are unusable - except FireFox!!

I have. I had a busted SATA cable in my Powermac G5 and was told by the Genius at the Apple Store that I'd have to buy a whole new $600 G5 case because the case and all its wires are ONE PART# And that didn't even include the labor to plug everything in!
So it easily would have been > $650! And all for just 1 busted cable!
Cost of a non-Apple cable & adapter to fix it myself: < $10
Cost of a real Apple part on Ebay: $19
But I will admit Apple Geniuses know more about Macs than the average Best Buy employee knows about PCs. That much is certainly true.
Can't wait for 10.5.2 to fix all the Leopard problems I've been having.
Until then, I'm sticking with Tiger.
The OS needs to enable network backup as well. We have yet to see whether Apples solution for TC is general network backup or specific to TC. I would guess its the latter.
Agreed, in my opinion it looks nice in general, but with some (mainly blue wallpapers) the menubar gets ugly as ...It usually looks nice, but it can be horrible with some backgrounds, so I have been using Leopaque which even lets you control the whiteness of a solid menubar
Your Proxy Server issue has NOTHING TO DO WITH LEOPARD.
It has to do with a protocol handshaking bug in WebKit which means SAFARI.
I'll second this not having an Apple Store nearby. Closest store to Spokane, WA is Seattle and that is over 300 miles west of me.
The next store is Portland, OR
After that, Salt Lake City, UT and then Reno, NV.
There aren't jack **** outside of Portland or Seattle in the Northwest.
At least you had a CompUSA after all the ones west of the Cascades and many in the Portland metro area closed.
We probably won't know for sure until 10.5.2 is actually released, but hopefully it did fix it. It's completely unusable for me, it doesn't work at all.
