Continue downloading updates and don't forget to patch. Do not play with any modifier so not to screw your install.

Ok, heres the update:
I had to reinstall. I didnt notice that there was a page two (you replied) until after I'd already reinstalled the patched 10.5.8 update. Interestingly, before I did _anything_ else, I tried to install the usb2.0 fix that was on my leo4all disc. The installer crashed, just like everything else I'd tried to install yesterday after mucking with Osxtools. This time, though, I hadnt touched osxtools yet. So something is wrong with my system. I can not install iLife as it crashes the installer.

2nd: You say that my kernel will be upgraded to 9.6 after I install update (downloading 10.5.5, .6, .7 now, so I can patch after yet another install), 10.5.6, but wouldnt I already be at 9.8 with my 10.5.8 install?? Im not, im still looking at the ToH 9.4.0. Im a little lost. I wouldve thought (based on your comment, quoted) that I would be running a higher kernel...? Does jumping to .8 with no in-between patches not patch the kernel? Is there something more deeply wrong with my setup that Im not aware of? Sorry for all the questions, but now Im just confused.

Edit: 3rd: the only tool I know of to update a kernel is osxtools and it crashed. HA! ... sigh. Editted Edit: NM, found the terminal commands.
