Why on earth, have Apple not pushed out Installer updates to 10.3 users? Distribution scripts and such would make our lives a hell of a lot easier! Some possible reasons: - it may also require updating the BOM framework. - QA cost and lack of resources. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
