[QUOTE="honestone33, post: 1831629"] Strange that Catalina requires the latest version of Safari. One would expect that new (or newer) version to be included in Catalina. Also, I rarely use Safari, preferring Google Chrome (and to a lesser extent, Firefox). Such a detriment to downloading Catalina is rather surprising, and not sure why such a hindrance would be there. Quite possibly such a hindrance would be the case if one was [B]upgrading[/B] to the newer OS, instead of downloading that installer for the new Mac OS. I've always downloaded the full installation file whenever I want to do such a full installation, otherwise for "in the same OS", I always download the Combo Update. And speaking of that, never had an issue with the Combo Update, no matter which versions of Apple software I had (but do not use). [/QUOTE]
