Leopard: Bugs/Compatibility Reports

[Satcomer]

I also to could not clear some things in Disk Utility. Then I read somewhere if you download (not Software Update) the full 110 MB 10.5.1 Update from Apple fixed it. It might help for you.

Any thoughts on what the implications are of these cryptic messages? What are these SUID files and how important are they? Any and all suggestions on what to do gratefully accepted.

The exact same warnings are coming up for me. Another forum stated not to worry about it. ???

Well did my above suggestion help at all?

Satcomer, didn't get to it yet, but that's not the first I heard that there was a difference in the two files. Will so soon - tho probably not until tomorrow - and report. Thanks for the prompt response!

I purchased my Mac Mini on the 2nd November 2007. I installed 10.5.0. The instructions said that I had to install 10.4.10 first (discs provided). My Mac Mini has a 80 GB hard drive and after complete installation I was left with 42 GB.

I then experienced multiple problems (even with the 10.5.1 update). So I did a clean install. Now I have 50GB of hard disc space left and a more reliable and efficient system. All programs from the original install (including iLife) were reinstalled.

What gives?

Sort of, there are fewer permissions that cannot be repaired. I would paste the list here, but after the first time of running the Disk Utility in Repair Permissions mode the machine now crashes (twice) and this last reboot the machine hung trying to send the crash report to Apple.

I am seriously wondering what possessed me to go with the first round of Leopard. I should have waited for the first 5 revs. My productivity is through the floor. I haven't had this kind of annoyance in computing life since Windows ME made me blow my fuse.

Oh yeah - there is something very wrong now that I have installed the 10.5.1 patch off the apple.com site! Hung this morning (woke, but stuck in screensaver image) and then after a reboot and a half hour into getting work done it rolls the gray shade down and tells me to restart the machine. Only had Address Book, Mail, iChat, Word and Safari open.

Dear God - don't tell me I need to do a clean and install!?!?
