Thanks for the guide. I wouldn’t have got a PC notebook but I noticed the HP Mini and then your guide the same week. Now I have a HP 110 Mini with 10.5.8.

Update: Even with the change to com.apple.Boot.plist it still will not upgrade to either 10.5.7 or 10.5.8. I guess I have to stay with 10.5.5 until the problem gets resolved or try to upgrade to 10.6.

I went to MyHPMini.com and so far no help. On my 1031NR everything works great since I went into com.apple.Boot.plist and changed it to cpus=2. Everything fell into place. It is more reliable now. Since this done now, do you think, 10.5.8 will install now? What did you do?

Don’t know what to tell you… As I said earlier, MyHPMini.com might help.

No good. Same thing. Even 10.5.7 does it. 10.5.7 was downloaded.

Then try the 10.5.8 Combo Update download an see if it updates that way.
