Hi all,

we can put this?

Thanks,

Bart

Here's a writeup I did to update the Mac OS X installation 
instructions to 2.33, modifying the instructions for 2.25 
already in the documentation:

1.  Download the file blender-2.33-darwin-6.6-powerpc.dmg 
(OS 10.2 +)

2.  When the download completes, the .DMG file will mount 
on your desktop, and a window should open.

3.  Create a folder on your hard drive (wherever you want, 
most users prefer /Applications) and copy the Blender 
files into that file.

4.  Unmount the disk image (the mounted disk the .DMG put 
onto your desktop)

5.  Go to the folder you copied Blender into and double-
click the Blender icon to start Blender.  Note: You can 
also drag the Blender icon to your dock for quick access.


Detailed instructions:
Download the file blender-2.33-darwin-6.6-powerpc.dmg from 
the downloads section of the Blender Website. When the 
download completes, the .DMG file will mount a disk image 
on your desktop, and possibly open a window.  If a window 
containing the Blender application does not open, double-
click the disk on your desktop to open the disk.  Create a 
folder (anywhere on your hard drive) to contain the 
Blender application (name it Blender or whatever you like--
I use Macintosh HD:3D Tools:Blender)

Open your Blender folder and double-click the Blender icon 
to run Blender. You can also open your hard drive (the 
Macintosh HD icon on your Desktop), and open your 
Applications, then drag the Blender icon from the original 
folder to the Applications folder. If you wish to leave 
the original Blender file and make a copy in the 
Applications folder, hold the option key while dragging. 
If you wish to make an alias to the original Blender 
program, hold both the option and command keys while 
dragging the icon.

You can also place the binary, a copy of the binary or an 
alias to the binary on your Desktop instead of the 
Applications folder, or put an alias on your Dock simply 
by dragging the program icon down to the Dock.

Instructions by Kevin Skeen, some portions modified from 
the Blender 2.25 instructions.

Hope it helps!
