Yep now I'm at home and online (rather than offline patching) there's a few things:

1. It downloaded the iLife '08 support pack (small)
2. Web browsing via wireless now goes like stink (Firefox). So I think this is wireless access in general that's improved.
3. Graphics go faster (and it seems to be running cooler atm)
4. My RAID5 server is recognised by Time Machine (i did the single command line parameter update to before the 10.5.2 and it still works.
With that being the case I'll plug in via copper and run a full backup overnight.
 
Updated my machine this morning.

Initial impressions;

"Folder view" in the stack menu is a nice touch for those who like an Applications stack
"List view" is also a welcome addition, I won't be using it though.
The drop-down menu transparency was better BEFORE the update.
Not too fussed on the Menu Bar transparency, but it's nice to have the option.
Installed from a fresh 10.5.0 image, so the download was 341MB on my iMac
Graphics update extra 54MB, no visible difference that I noticed

Can anyone confirm AirDisk works with an AirPort Extreme? Would be nice to use it.
 
anyone getting silly slow downloading speeds using the apple software updater, i'm downloading the 300 mg update but it says 2 hours left, on my 8mb adsl :(

Dont worry mate, its your system calibrating itself. It will get back to normal speeds soon enough.
 
After a major patch the caches are normally clear - this means that on the next boot the system has to rebuild the caches. In addition there's probably tasks that the install needs todo after the reboot.
 
It seems to have made my wireless connection better but only marginally. I lose signal about once an hour now rather than once every 15 minutes.

Maybe it's my router.

Netgear DG834N.

The thing is, airport will say I've got full connection and then a page will tell me I'm not connected to a network. If I refresh the page, or go to another page, it works again. Maybe it's a safari issue.

I'm having the same thing. Instead of it dropping out for 5mins at a time previously now connections just seem to get "interrupted" every few hours. When it happens msn gets kicked out and webpages won't load, but I can click refresh/sign in again and it works.

Very strange but way less annoying than before.
