I know I could down load it and try it but... Does anyone know if I can burn the .iso and install a version, let's say 10.5 or 10.4 on a new hard-drive? Or do these require the original OS there to update. I am referring to the combo updates.
The combo updates rely on the 10.x.0 (or later) version of the OS being installed already. I think Software Update should be able to download and install the latest point updates for back versions of the system, but there may be a limit on how far back that goes.
Remember you can't (or should not, but the installer should stop you) install a version of Mac OS X earlier than the point release delivered with the computer. The installed version is the first that includes the software the machine needs in order to run. This is why one keeps the restore disks that came with the computer.
