Chapter 3 -
Initial Installation
"Mac OS X Update 10.3.4" and security updates "Security Update 2004-05-24" and
“Security Update 2004-06-07”. The guidance in this document has been confirmed
under these updates.
If there are newer security updates than those listed here, they should be installed.
After updating the system as indicated, all security updates released later than the
last update given above should also be installed, in the order in which they were
released.
After Mac OS X v10.2.8, all security updates contain only fixes for security issues. It
is possible to review the contents of each security update before installing it. To see
the contents of a security update, go to Apple’s Security Support Page
(http://www.apple.com/support/security
) and click on the “Security Updates page”
link.
All security updates published by Apple
contain only fixes for security issues, and
are usually released in response to a
specific known security problem.
Applying these updates is essential.
Downloading and Verifying Updates
The Software Update panel in the System Preferences panel might pop up to
indicate any updates available for the system. Software Update will ask if any new
downloads found should be downloaded and installed. Software Update should not
be used to automatically perform updates. Select Quit to exit Software Update, and
continue installing updates manually.
Updates can be downloaded from http://www.apple.com/support/downloads
(Figure 1) using a machine designated specifically for downloading and verifying
updates, and should be copied to a disk for installation. The download should be
done separately so that file integrity can be verified before the updates are installed.
