AppleJack 1.5 Update (w/OS X Leopard compatibility)
MU this weekend listed AppleJack v1.5 that notes OS X Leopard compatibility:

" Version 1.5 changes:
  • Leopard compatibility! (Thanks Steve Anthony!)
  • Improved console output suppression from launchd processes.
  • Improved the process of finding valid user directories, drawing on netinfo, /etc/passwd, and /Users directory as needed. Users can now be chosen by user id or user name, as well as the old method of entereing the home directory.
  • Logging is more complete
    Requirements: Mac OS X 10.2.x - 10.5 or later."
  • The MU page has some initial feedback on v1.5. (I've also added a note on the update to a previous page here of (earlier) User Reports on AppleJack.)

    More notes on OS X Leopard Virtual Memory
    I've added more reader notes on OS X Leopard VM/swap files as a follow-up to Friday's posts/replies including more comments from Yves (the only reader that reported a problem) and a note from Wes on edits to move the swapfile location. Later posts are down the page. (Personally if I were Yves, I'd try a clean install w/o any edits/tweaks, etc.)
