> version 10.3, 10.3.1, 10.3.2, 10.3.3, 10.3.4, 10.3.5, or 10.3.6,
> update your software with the Combo Update instead.

>
> Important: Please read before installing
>
>
>
> You may experience unexpected results if you have installed
> third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the
> operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal
> application software installation.)
>
>
> The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage
> or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone
> installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update.
>
>
> Installation
>
>
>
> You have two ways to update to Mac OS X 10.3.8: Use Software Update or
> the standalone installer. Use just one of these methods to update your
> computer.
>
>
>
> Automatic Software Update
>
>
>
> Software Update, located in System Preferences, can automatically
> download and install the latest Apple software. Software Update may
> have linked you to this document for additional information about the
> update.
>
>
>
> This update's size may vary from computer to computer when installed
> via Software Update.
>
>
>
> Because some updates are prerequisites for others, you may need to run
> Software Update more than once to get all available updates.
>
>
>
> Standalone installer
>
>
> Two versions of the installer (Delta and Combo, described below) are
> available from Apple Downloads as standalone updates. After you
> download an update, you can use it without being connected to the
> Internet.
>
> The Delta Update installer (described here) will update Mac OS X
> 10.3.7 to 10.3.8.
> The Combo Update installer can update 10.3, 10.3.1, 10.3.2, 10.3.3,
> 10.3.4, 10.3.5, 10.3.6, or 10.3.7 to 10.3.8.
>
>
> The standalone installer, particularly the Combo Update, is useful if
> you have multiple computers to update and only want to download the
> 10.3.8 update once.
