Apple releases first update for Tiger
by Volker Weber
The 10.4.1 Update delivers overall improved reliability for Mac OS X v10.4 and is recommended for all users. It includes improvements for:
- file sharing using AFP and SMB/CIFS network file services
- using DHCP in wireless networks
- user login when accessing LDAP and Active Directory servers
- core graphics including updated ATI and NVIDIA graphics drivers
- synchronization with .Mac
- Address Book, iCal, Font Book, Mail, and Preview applications
- Dashboard widgets: Address Book, Flight Tracker, Phone Book, and World Clock
- creating and burning disk images using Disk Utility and System Image Utility (Remove)
- compatibility with third party applications and devices
For detailed information on this Update, please visit this website.
This one is a biggie:
Resolves a potential issue that could occur when moving from one access point to another within the same wireless network—the IP address could have been lost and not restored unless the DHCP lease was renewed or the computer put to sleep and then awakened.

Volker, you mention :
# creating and burning disk images using Disk Utility and System Image Utility (Remove)
I could not find more information on this from the info.apple.com webpage you also gave in your post.
Does the above mean you can no longer create and burn disk images from Disk Utility or System Image Utility ? That this capability has been removed in the update ?
I'm a 10.3.9 user for the foreseeable future, so perhaps this has been implemented in another utility that I don't know about. But I would have liked to keep using this feature, so perhaps you can enlighten me.
Disk Utility still lets me create and burn images. I am not sure what Apple means.
At least for me the update to 10.4.1 fixes the DHCP issue mentioned. Ah, free roaming in my home at last.
Disk Utility still lets me create and burn images. I am not sure what Apple means.
Same for me, Disk Utilities still working as supposed.
