Hi to all. Just recently my brother got a MAC laptop. The installed OS in laptop is Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Till now i am not familiar with MAC OS installation and usage. Of-course i searched Google and i got some information. But i have a few questions.
1. Now i am trying to install Mac OS X again. I searched in Apple website for any available updates for Mac OS X Snow Leopard. I saw there is an important update available. But it is available in two variants. One is Mac OS X v10.6.6 Update (Size 143.59 MB) and the other is Mac OS X v10.6.6 Update Combo (Siz is 1.06 GB) I go through detailed description about these two updates. But i am not able to find exact difference between them. Both contains incremental updates and nearly same in description. But why one in above 1 GB in size and one is 143 MB. Which one i need to download?
2. Is there a way to integrate this update to Mac OS X Snow Leopard installation and create a Mac OS X installation DVD which contains both OS and update. Just like Win 7 with SP1. If so, how the method would be?
3. Is there a tool available to customize the installation of Mac OS X Snow Leopard. Just like RT 7 Lite, which is available to customize Win 7 installation image.
Please let me know answers for the above mentioned questions if possible. I already searched in Google but i am not able to find proper information.
Thanks.

Re: Questions regarding Mac OS X updates
I find the easiest way is simply to install whatever copy of OS X you have, then click on the Apple in the top left corner of the screen, and select 'software update'.
This will check for all updates, system, printers etc etc and download them all for you.
Apple seems to consolidate most updates so unlike an XP install where you keep having to run system update and reboot a few times, the update usually takes care of everything in one (or maybe two) goes, and there is usually only a single reboot needed.

I have Snow Leopard and I install all the updates as they become available. You should get automatic update notifications.
