@JackH. About an hour. Snap.
Don’t feed the troll!!! They only get dumber and uglier if you do.
Just upgraded a Macmini 1.66GHz and boy is it slow. I did all the normal pre- and post-update permissions, etc but to no avail. I am going to upgrade via the combo updater and see if speed improves.
Any one else with slow speed issues?

This from Macworld:
Do I need to repair permissions before installing an update to Mac OS X?
In a word, no. When you install a Mac OS X update, you’re required to authenticate—provide an admin-level username and password—in order for the installation to proceed. When you authenticate, you’re allowing the installer to run with the equivalent of root access. What this means is that the installer is not constrained by Mac OS X’s permissions system—it ignores the normal restrictions of file and folder permissions. This is necessary for Installer to be able to update Mac OS X, but, more important for the current discussion, it also means that “incorrect” permissions shouldn’t cause problems with the installation.
My PPC based machine rebooted twice. Is this normal/in the release notes somewhere? Anyone?

Ditto
Update,
Ran the Combo Updater and fixed permissions. Still very slow, over 5 minutes to reboot!
However, all programs seem to run fine with just a little hesitation as compared to preupdate.
To all the people who think 10.5 comes after 10.4.9, it’s time for you to RETAKE basic math. There’s no such thing as a decimal number with TWO decimal points.
Therefore, 10.4.9 is NOT a decimal number. 10.4 is. 10.49 is.
10.49 + .01 = 10.5
10.4.9 + 0.0.1 = 10.4.10
Stop being so dumb.
dd,
Thank you for your detailed post. It is quite informative. We need more users like you to think these things through and put these trolls in their place. BTW, please read troll food’s 8:55 pm post. I think you will find it quite pertinent. Thanks again,

“My PPC based machine rebooted twice. Is this normal/in the release notes somewhere? Anyone?”
Same with my G4 iBook. Don’t recall a double restart with PPC Macs before, but everything is working just fine. Also fine on my MacBook.

some information on OS X permissions and the “Repair Permissions” function.
I had a double boot with 10.4.8
At this rate we’ll be a 10.4.12 by the time Leopard is out.
I installed it, and all is well on my G5 Power Mac.
Not only is finder and other apps faster. Mail is working great now. I have Gmail. Since the 10.4.9 update Mail has sucked. I don’t know why. This issued occurred on all my machines. This update seems to have fixed that.
troll food,
right ye are!
If you ignore them, they go away.
Ethan,
my mini did a double boot as well. I’v never experienced that before.
Man, it’s amazing how many people will still take you seriously even if you put “Troll” in your name.
“To the idiots that fell for the “PC Troll” comments and continued to litter the comments section with useless crap. The obvious sarcasm in his/her post didn’t clue you in? It was probably another “MAC” user messing around to see how many of you tards would bite.”
At least one person gets it.
Oh, and I was satirizing the Anti-Apple freaks who always try and turn every positive announcement into something negative (“new OS update? So there was problems with the old one? Man, MAC sucks”)

I updated to 10.4.10 and now Safari won’t work. My homepage comes up, but when I navigate anywhere else, it Kacks. I’ve got a brand spankin new 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core MacPro. Anybody else have that problem?
I once felt snappier. Once.
You keep getting it wrong you dumb ass, our slogan is…
Your frustration. Our fault. ™
Updated a Core 2 duo 2.0 Ghz white MacBook (May 06) from 10.4.9. No issues. Safari 3.0 beta works fine, didn’t need to reinstall.
MW= should, as in how else SHOULD it work?
Could be my imagination, but it does feel snappier.
>”Ethan,

I had a double boot as well (PPC G5), so it’s good to know it’s normal, or at least not an isolated incident. No problems thus far. Double boots are normal on some updates 10.4.9 double booted as well. I just didn’t see anywhere in the 10.4.10 release notes where it mentioned this.
After this update Vista seems much more sluggish.
