Download the big-ass update from Apple's website instead of using
Software Update.  Installing it from Software Update is a crap-shoot.
It may work great (like on my TiBook) or it may totally fsck up your
filesystem (like on my friend's Sawtooth).  I've also heard varied
reports from iBook and iMac users in both directions.
