saitunes 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2008 I was just wondering is there any way to put updates for OS X on a CD/DVD flash drive?Every couple months I like to re-install tiger and have a fresh start (For no particular reason other than cleaning)and every time I do it i have to download a couple gig worth of updates (My restore disk that came with the macbook is 10.4.7 or so)Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
galexcd 0 Report post Posted October 21, 2008 It is possible to put the updates on your harddrive in the same form that they are on the server and then install them via software update, however to make software update look at your harddrive rather than the internet you'll need to modify some files in your library, not something I would normally recommend. Instead why don't you download all the updates as packages (available from apple.com/support/downloads/), then keep all of the packages on your harddrive, and when you resinstall your OS, you can install directly from these packages rather than re-downloading them every time.
