10.5.5 update

Hard to recommend the 10.5.5 update just yet. There
seem to be some installation issues. Half of the
machines at Boyceworld took the installation without
incident and are working fine. The other half took
forever to restart after the install, then went to a
blue screen, then turned themselves off. After
restarting a few times all seems normal but
everything leading up to that certainly wasn’t
pleasant. I think you can live without it, but if you
are daring and want to install 10.5.5 at the very
least be sure you are completely backed up, AND
repair permissions before you install, AND be sure
nothing is running when you do the install (hint:
restart first, then do the Software Update), AND be
sure that all external disks are disconnected.
Personally, given all that, if you still want to do
10.5.5, I think you should have me do it.
