I have a 2001 iBook and just installed OS X on it. I set up 4k78 and got online to begin updating the software but I CAN'T!!!
When I run the Software Update control panel it just sits there and eventually tells me "Software Update has not been used yet" OK, I said, and just downloaded the 10.0.3 update from version tracker. (Couldn't get 10.0.1 or .2 so I figured this was the only update I needed.) When I ran the installer it just tells me "This software can not be installed on this computer" WTF is this CRAP!!
This is a brand new machine with 384mb of RAM and you'd better F...ing believe this software can be installed on this maching STEVE J.
Obviously I know this has nothing to do with my hardware but still....Is this a permisions/user/admin/root type thing or what. I have succesfully installed OS X on my G4 with NO problems updating. Please, if you have any suggestions or know what the problem may be, fill me in. Thanks.
PS - can't run the installer while logged is as root either. SWU, same thing.

Make sure that the SWU version is 1.31. If not, you HAVE to update that first.......then you can update to 10.0.3. I do not believe that 10.0.2 is mandatory.
But, it appears as though SWU is broken anyway..........My SWU does nothing for about a minute and then comes back without updating the last time I ran it. Someone else posted the same question/remark.

Figured most of it out. Had to install 10.0.1 first then apply the 10.0.3 update. Strange, I'm sure all of this would be easier if my stinking SWU would just work but it's still giving me the same problems. "Software Update has not been used yet." CRAP!! This means no IE update for me. Why can't Apple just put the freakin update on the site for d/ling! GRRRRRR
