it takes 48 h to recover my powerbook after i made an attempt to 

update computer from osx 10.4.6 combo to 10.4.7.

i downloaded that 10.4.7 combo update directly from apple's website. 

then i pushed installation button and nearly at the end of process 

installation window said something like "installation error... blah 

blah blah". i tried 2 more times. then i figured out that system was 

already broken. and at the end of the day (night) i found my self 

reinstalling completely all system and all programs.

in my experience, if a software update fails, its indicative that the 

machine being updated had issues prior to being updated, like messed 

up permissions, bad sectors on the drive, etc.

But Apple has definitely messed up in the past wrt OS updates. I 

always like to wait 2 weeks. Apple also has this odd habit of 

removing updates AFTER posting them, and putting in slightly new ones 

which fix small things they missed in packaging the update.
