Get Your Open Computing Updates Here!
As always, Psystar will provide updates for Open Computing products that we know to work and keep Open Computing systems up-to-date. We're pleased to announce that we have tested and are now releasing the 10.5.3 scripted installation for the Mac OS X Leopard operating system. Please read the following and make note of it because it will be important when you update your Open Computing product:
- Please reboot your computer before running the update
- You must have your retail copy Mac OS X Leopard CD in the CD-ROM drive to be able to install this update
- This update will require you to restart your computer once it is complete
- Although the scripted installation is a little over 1MB, the 10.5.3 update from Apple is a very large (over 500MB) download that may take a very long time to download depending on the speed of your internet connection. The scripted installer will download it for you during the installation process
- You must select the appropriate model of computer (Open or OpenPro) and the appropriate model video card when prompted or else your machine may not have video upon reboot
- After the installation is complete and the machine restarts the machine will enter the Apple loading screen for approximately 5 minutes and then reboot (although this process may take longer). Once the machine reboots again it will return to a normal functioning state. It is imperative that you do not reboot the machine prematurely. Rebooting the machine early may cause undesirable effects including, but not limited to: broken operating system.
 You MUST select the correct computer model and video card before proceeding. Expand the menu and then select your model and video card. Ensure that your selection is correct before proceeding. The selected model will have a check in the box to its left as the 10.5.3 update does by default. Make sure that you do not select "Open" if you have an "OpenPro" and vice versa. Do not continue the installation process if you have not selected your model/video card at this screen. "Open Computers" is not a selectable option and is there to denote that the individual model/video card combinations are available under that expandable menu.
Remember, it takes a really long time to download. It will download through our installer. Do not manually download the update from the Apple website. The updater will do that for you. Also remember to allow the computer to reboot itself when it is on the gray Apple loading screen.
