So, I'm trying to set up a Pro Tools machine (I got in a bad habit of updating regularly, and that's kind of a bad idea for Pro Tools).

I've installed OS X 10.5, and need to update to 10.5.4 before loading Pro Tools. How do I only update to that specific version, but no further? How do I keep Software Update from just running a "combined update" to take me to 10.7.whatever? Or will it do it in steps? How do I make sure that one particular step isn't too far?

I believe you can download update packs from the support section of the website.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Digidesign has a FAQ somewhere that helps with that. Finding it is hard, once found, it helps a lot. There is also a utility or applescript that can help if you do the software update. Works most of the time.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So who's using virtualization software for the Mac. I've used Parallels for the Mac, but I don't think I've used the latest version. But I've heard VMWare is really good too.

I use Parallels and I like it.
