Today I ran Software Update on my machine to get another package when I saw 2 versions of 10.3.8. One was 14.6 MB, the other 27.7 MB. I re-ran it and only the 27.7 MB package showed up. Did Apple release a patched verion of 10.3.8 to fix the problem with the fans that 10.3.8 introduced?
Got a tip for us?

Updates can be different sizes based on your hardware, i.e. laptop vs desktop, etc. Sounds like Software Update had a brain fart and was confused about your machine, momentarily. Then again, maybe they had a glitch in their update database.
Anyway, there's only one 10.3.8 update.

I updated both my wife's and my Powerbooks G4, her's 15" Ti 1Ghz Superdrive, and mine 12" Al 1.33Ghz Combo via software update and I noticed that in her SU that it's 16.6 MB or something like that, while on mine it's the normal 28.8 via SU. Anyways, I updated both as said, her's with the 16.6MB update and mine with the normal, just to see what'll happen. I know I'm taking a risk, but why not? After all, all data are backed up. Anyways, no problems on hers or mine, only I got a few pop-ups on Safari since then, but not on hers. Hmmmm...... wonder what's up with the new update?
