At that, I suspect Apple will have issued a repair update before I get around to that. I use a separate external for that machine and will do a clone backup before trying the updates. I haven’t tried the update on the iMac G5 yet. I wasn’t aware that Apple had a history of problem updates and was surprised about the problems the latest updates caused some people, although not with my Intel Mac.
Oddly enough, I already use a Firewire external and use SuperDuper to clone to it, although I haven’t been doing clones just prior to getting updates. Invest in a good FireWire drive and use a program like SuperDuper to do the cloning and you will have everything you need to recover from OS updates gone wrong.

When I delete software I hunt down all the files and get rid of them. My hard drive runs lean, no extra junk like language files and printer drivers. I repair permissions before and after software installations and updates/upgrades. I also confess to being almost obsessive/compulsive about my Mac's maintenance.
I have installed every update from Apple for the OS, for Apple applications, even the notorious Firmware update (although, I admit I held off on that for a week after folks started screaming around here!) This iMac is a dream. I have experienced none of the software or hardware related issues that you can read about here in the new iMac Intel Discussions. I got my iMac Intel the last week of January. Every problem that I have had was caused by me and usually involved me installing someone's 3rd party software. But let me say that havoc from Apple Updates is not the norm! I have used 7 Macintosh computers since the original in 1984.
