Software Update pops up with recommended updates and since everything has worked so far I just let it do what is wants to do. Along with a few of the normal updates to a few of the pieces of iLife titles and a few parts of FileMaker Pro and Aperture an update to OS X 10.5.7 is on the list. Everything goes along and I am waiting with baited breath hoping that I haven't just allowed the one thing to happen that will break the system.
Have I been too trusting? Should I have checked the message boards and online communities first? Oh well, too late now.
It finally finishes and the program has closed, the drive icons have disappeared and the little swirling circle has appeared, indicating that the reset process has begun. I guess I will find out soon enough if I have made a major mistake and will have to wipe out my drive and start all over or not. Has Apple figured out a way to shut out all of us modders from the OS X party or are they just figuring that we are the cream on top of the switchers pie? (Actually I am not a switcher. I have been a Mac user since that January day when they were first introduced during the Super Bowl in 1984.)
Viola! It boot up and everything is working perfectly. But, when I hit the internet I find that all is not so for the rest of the Hackintosh community. Even for my fellow Dell Mini 9 users, some have varied experiences and as many different recommendations and solutions.
But, alas, if you are reading this post and you have a Dell Mini 9 or 10v and haven't upgraded to 10.5.7 or are considering purchasing a Mini 9 or 10v to install Mac OS X on take heart in these words: if you install a retail version of OS X 10.5.x, no matter what number is inserted for 'x', you will have no problem if you upgrade to 10.5.7 with either version of the upgrade package.
