yep, it came and went. too many g4 owners had problems with it. they took it away in less than a day. keep your eyes open, i'm sure it will be back soon. i'm guessing tomorrow or friday. but that's just a guess.

Probably. They'll probably have 2 patches, one for those who downloaded 10.2.8 already and one for those who didn't.

The first thing that went through my mind when noticing the 10.2.8 banner was gone was...

A) MACOSX folks will have already noticed this, and
B) Maybe Panther is about to be released.

I wasn't even thinking about the problems that have been reported.

As for my system, the iBook 500 MHz has 10.2.8 and is running with no problem. I noticed, though, that my display had reverted to thousands instead of millions of colors.

Although i saw in this thread there where a lot of problems with installing 10.2.8 (when it was still online) Apple admitted one.. Ehm.. a little one..
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107669

About 10.2.7, Apple won't put a downloadable version of 10.2.7 just because it's only working on a G5.
The G5 owners won't get 10.2.8 (it only installs on G4).

Well if they make a patch, i doubt if i will use it, my system is still up an running fine. So it's a perfect update. Doesn't Software update keep the installers for use later? I want to keep a copy of that update just in case I need to reinstall.

No, it doesn't keep the installers around. You would have had to download it to disk to have saved it.

Does anyone have the installer? I want to hang on to that.

We got a damn storm coming through, so there goes my uptime, I have to shut down and the system still performs well.
