Panther 'Test' Software Update
- Thread starter MacRumors

- Sort by reaction score
For those considering installing Panther;
I have noticed that it doesn't handle upgrades too well yet, and the machines I have performed an upgrade on have all needed a clean installation.
Problems range from missing applications, applications failing to lauch, applications crashing and unexpectedly closing. Also there were a number of System Preferences issues.
A clean installation solved all of these.

About an hour after I posted here yesterday, I received my ADC mailing. It has the same SW that was given out at WWDC. So there coming at you! The bit about being registered in ADC by 6/23 does not appear to be accurate, since I didn't purchase my Select membership until 6/30.

Did the iChat version number change after the update? If so, it would suggest that a new beta will be available soon for 10.2. I'm hoping this is the case, since many bugs have already been discovered, and Apple is using it to promote the iSight.
did the update adress the issue of the backlit keyboard on the 17" AL?
i know it does not work in panther anymore when it was first released

There are some issues w/ it, mainly pertaining to the new settings in System Preferences for the light sensors.
It doesn't appear as if this update addresses that, if it's still an issue.
lol
well guess it means im still gonna be using jag
though panther dev release is great for novelty purposes

I didn't have any of these problems. However, if your Panther installation has noticed any files from a Jaguar installation it (or more notably vice versa) then the wrong version may be launching. My upgrade went smooth as silk.
Re: Re: screenshot
I agree, don't see what the big deal was.
I guess for some of us life is too short to get pissy about a widely used, standard format thats available on just about every electroic device known to man that can display an image, albeit used in a slightly strange manner...and for others it isn't.

Why are you getting so worked up?
It was 40+KB! Do you have a 14.4k modem or something?

Re: Re: Re: screenshot
It's about consideration. How much more diffucult would it have been to type "PDF" than "Screenshot"? Not only would there have been less work (fewer keys pressed), it would have been more informative and intuitive.
I agree with the original request. I opened the link in another tab, but when I clicked on it, it wasn't there. So then I gotta go looking for the PDF. Then I gotta wait for Acrobat to load (It's quicker than Preview or Acrobat Viewer). Someone suggested a plug-in. Well, that's great for future reference, but means squat right now.
And yes, I have broadband, so it downloaded in a heartbeat. That's not the point. The point is about accurately conveying infomation.
Ok, rant is over now.

DaveL, please read the seeding email you have... second paragraph with regards to the date. All Select members will likely get this email, but not necessarily the CDs - otherwise why would that paragraph be in there.
Of course I sincerely hope you do get the CDs. Otherwise your purchase of ADC Select might have been in vain.
