And I don’t want to hear any nonsense about Combo updates. Just run Software Update.

I've downloaded the combo update and not had any problems.
I use combo updates for two reasons:
1) After an update breaks something, people often say "oh, go install the combo update and see if that fixes it" - why possibly break something when I can just get the combo update?
2) I've got two Macs, they both drag down several hundred meg for the updates, or I can just download one combo update and apply to both machines.

I've never used a combo update before.
I just let software update do it's thing.
Normally it will be security update stuff that comes automatically but if there's a big update due I'll go and start it myself.
Never had a problem with any of them.

Makes sense, if an update fails for whatever reason — rogue third-party software would be my bet — then reinstalling all updated components makes sense. Equally, makes sense. Installing the combo is fine, but whereas there used to be a good reason for installing the Combo, Snow Leopard’s redesigned Software Update appears to have fixed the problems with incremental patches by yaking the system “offline” while installing the update. _________________I’m on the internet — blog | flickr | facebook | twitter
