I have a simple question about Leopard. How long will it be before Apple bumps the retail Leopard DVD installer to version 10.5.2? I'd like to buy a 10.5.2 DVD rather than installing 10.5.1 & updating to 10.5.2? Is there any way of finding out the timetable on this?
Comments
1)Buy OS X Leopard (currently at 10.5.1)
2)Download all the updates up to 10.5.2 and save the packages.
3)Copy all the packages into a CD-R.
So if there comes a time you need to reinstall 10.5, every update package in waiting for you n a CD-R. Strongly recommended, since 10.5.2 is astronomically huge at 150+MB if im not wrong.
instead of hoping/waiting, why not do this:

The Boot and Installer bugs worked out in 10.5.2 and future 10.5.3 clean up and will clean up where 10.5.1 didn't fix over 10.5 release that did have problems with volatile ram issues.
If you really need to have disks for that, I would suggest looking up InstaDMG. It will suck in the disk you have, and then allow you to add other updates along with almost anything else you can install with a .pkg and it will spit out a NetRestore .dmg (of the ASR variety) that you can use to restore disks to the same state they would be in if you ran the installer disk on them. And it has the benefit of being an ASR, so will restore down to disk much faster.
