Worked with the public bèta on my MBP 15" Unibody late 2008, this afternoon will install 10.11.2 released yesterday. Anything particular you want to know?
Hi All,
I noticed that this update was around 1.37 GB. I presume that updates are also compressed. Any insights as to why the update seems to be so large? And not just this release, I just can't recall the last time a point release download was under 1 GB. I'm not knocking the size, I'm just wanting to understand why it is the size it is. Thanks in advance for educating me!
It’d be nice to have the updates broken down more, but they’re already “deltas”. I guess that’s good enough.
I just ask form general experience. So nothing in detail.
But I just give it a try and install 11.2 by my self.
The inability to run Adobe InDesign CS5 is the only thing keeping me from installing the new OS.
