Hackintosh: OSX 10.5.7 update works

I just did the update from the software update, like a real Mac. I damn near crapped my pants when the system didn’t boot the first time. I thought I killed my computer. But it booted fine the second time. It was just one of those “double reboot” updates Apple puts out every so often. I wish I would have known that in advance.

All is well in hackintosh land. Back to work for me.

As a result, they have been able to get OSX working near perfection now with the latest Leopard system.
