OS 10.5.2 & Leopard Graphics Update 1.0

Yes, you can choose. When you do software update (or when the automatic update box shows up) they will give you checkboxes for the various components - usually they are selected automatically so you need to unselect them so they don't install.

Software update is in the apple menu at the upper left of your screen, as is the system preferences, restart, log out, etc.

A great convenience that I have found is that whenever you install any package (could be non-Apple), it puts a "receipt" in the /Library/Receipts folder on the Mac, and you can use that to get a listing of all files installed by a package. I always do that before installing a package so that I know where it is going to put files.

It is very helpful if you install a bad package and now want to manually get rid of all the files that it put on your system.

As an example: a listing of some files Quicktime 7.41 installed on my system:

./System/Library/Frameworks/QuickTime.framework/Versions/A/QuickTime 100755 0/0 8419712 919254398
./System/Library/Frameworks/QuickTime.framework/Versions/A/Resources 40755 0/0
./System/Library/Frameworks/QuickTime.framework/Versions/A/Resources/._QuickTime.rsrc 100644 0/0 82 3028180313
./System/Library/Frameworks/QuickTime.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Dutch.lproj 40755 0/0
./System/Library/Frameworks/QuickTime.framework/Versions/A/Resources/Dutch.lproj/Localized.rsrc 100644 0/0 64723 3292648134

I think APPLE is going to force us to move to Leopard as Tiger + Leopard = ball of sh*t

UPDATE:
install the "Leopard Graphics Update" and try again - SHOULD FIX apple file protocol - although I have ZERO idea whay that would be in a "graphics update" - again - please confirm (funny - we are doing live global "bug hunting" - while I am on location shooting Red in Florida!)

Don't tested yet. Tomorrow I wil try again...
