Yip, installed it last night, was under a megabyte in size. Didn't notice anything different though. Build number is 7C103. Would take a screenie, but just installed PAnther server over the same install, which has made my machine a little schizo, going to re-install later, lol
I hope 10.3.1 also addresses a few other issues, like the problems with browsing Windows networks that many of us are having, and various FileVault bugs.
It would be annoying if the FireWire bug were the only problem fixed. Then again, if no other bug fixes are quite ready to go yet, I suppose something as dangerous as the FireWire bug should be addressed as soon as possible.
I take it you've never seen my huge BOM listings of previous Mac OS X updates? The ones that were so kindly formatted with oodles of command line flags to get right down to the goodies? I guess not.
I guess you also missed all my posts with details about pre-release developer builds of, oh, a few "minor" versions like 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3.
Ah, I suppose geek humor is just under-appreciated these days.
I guess it will just fix some iDiks problems and probably the updaters for MS Office will no longer die when updating Office X installs
Huh huh... you said iDiks.
How do you know that IO stuff doesn't refer to FireWire? Why wouldn't the fix for that be put in the update? Apple admitted it and put a page up explaining the problem, so I don't know why they wouldn't fix it in the next update.

... cos none of the IOFirewire<*> extensions is listed ... aand Apple said you need an firmware update from your drive manufacturer!

I own a generic 5.25" firewire box (CE ST-2511F) purchased at a computer show. I bought a third party hard drive and installed it myself. To my knowledge, I didn't install anything, it just always worked as it was supposed to.
Is this firmware update for the box or the hard drive?

It's for the firewire case, or more exactly, the oxford chip. You probably don't need the update, but go to the manufacturer's website to check, and if there is one do it anyway.
Hard to believe the IO / Terminal would be the only aspects of the system they'd fix with 10.3.1... unless 10.3.2 is right on its heals, relatively speaking. There are several GUI glitches, networking issues and other random loose ends that I think should be pretty easy for them to fix before they dive head-long into all the 3rd party compatibility stuff.
Hopefully 10.3.1 will at least fix those as well. Also, I can't image it not being out before the end of the month. They've supposedly been working on it since before Panther was released so they obviously knew about some of these problems before they became "news".

If someone has a pre-release, that must be a developer.
Developers must know about packaging software for Mac OS X.
So the person claimimng to have a build for 10.3.1 should understand what "posting the bom" means.
BOM is the bill of materials for the package.
type
man lsbom
in a terminal window and the enlightment will sink in.

Does not look like Firewire related stuff to me!
Some IO kext stuff but not really Firewire!
I guess it will just fix some iDiks problems and probably the updaters for MS Office will no longer die when updating Office X installs
