OS 10.5 - Installing Leopard - no restart after install/didn't finish.

Running a 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac w/1MB Ram.

Bought and installed Leopard. Got about 99% through with the install, and the status was listed as "About one minute remaining...". The HD sat and ran for at least 25 minutes, with the status bar not moving at all.

I restarted the Mac, and started it from the HD that the install was going onto.

It APPEARS to have been a full install, as everything is working. Any chance it was just a hangup with the "restarting" part of the install? I'm d/ling the updates as we speak.

Thanks!
Spicy

If it updates to X.5.6 no worries Spicy. Sometimes that last minute in software installs is the longest minute of one's life LOL.
