Ugh! The hint installs "ignored" updates without warning.
Authored by: macFanDave on Mar 23, '04 12:25:41PM
I put updates that don't apply to me in the ignored updates group. I don't have an iPod, so I passed on that update; I use a D-Link 802.11b router and a BuffaloTech card, so I didn't see anything in the notes of the last update that seemed to apply to me. When you type softwareupdate -l, it doesn't mention what you've ignored (is there an -li switch? I'm not at my Mac right now). When you type sudo softwareupdate -i -a it goes ahead and installs all pending updates whether you've previously ignored them or not. Well, now I've GOT to go buy an iPod! Thanks.
