[Macpartners] Mac OS X 10.4.3: It’s a go

[Albert Willis]

Based on lots of testing and feedback, we have arrived at the  
conclusion that users should be able to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.4.3  
without experiencing problems.

Users wishing to upgrade should follow the usual precautions:

- Always have a current backup before attempting to install any  
operating system update

- if you haven't done so in a while, boot from a Mac OS X install CD,  
run Disk Utility and use the repair disk option, to repair any file  
system inconsistencies (this is the same as booting into single user  
mode  and running /sbin/fsck -fy from the command line for those who  
are Unix-savvy; if you have no idea what I'm talking about, pretend  
you didn't read this for now…)

- after installing the update, run Disk Utility and use the Repair  
Permissions option to fix permissions that may need fixin'

The details about 10.4.3 are available at http://www.apple.com/
