remember… If everyone around you says that you shouldn't download something cause it might kill your iMac [or rather your Dad's iMac]… Don't belive them when they say it works perfectly now…thankyouapplesoftwareupdate… we now have the fun of messing with an iMac that worked perfectly untill you suggested that we download the "Safe" 10.2.8 update -_- okey we tried:
•Starting from the Jag. CD - didnt work
•Zapping the PRAM - well it made the startup sound quiter…
•Starting from the 10.1 CD - wow the amazing uselessness of disk utility…
•Starting up in single user mode [Command-S at startup], and fsck ing it [oh say 8 times?], it fixed one thing… on the first pass… then it just wasted our [and it's own] time… *Gets made at the fscking iMac -_-* iMac:
•700mhz CD burner, No Apple Speakers
•384 ram
•Cannon printer
•Visor base staion
•generic USB hub [splitter]
•Pro keyboad/mouse oh yea… the problem:
The grey Apple logo screen with that spinning thing… for more than 5 hours… If I open my window all the bugs will get in…That's just one more reason to use a Mac!

Odd, my 10.2.8 went without a hitch.I have an iMac DV 450+. But then again, I believe G4's were more affected than G3 machines.

Well… 10.2.8 seems to be fine or really bad…anyway, we reinstalled 10.1, and then Jag. and now we are updating back to 10.2.6…
saving our user folders make it almost like nothing was wrong… except that Safari and Software update don't work again yet… If I open my window all the bugs will get in…That's just one more reason to use a Mac!

I had problems with this upgrade too. My G3 froze up a few times and one of the partitions on my hard drive disappeared (wouldn't mount).Norton Utilities fixed everything up.

My friend's G4 can't tollerate 10.2.8... It totally killed his computer, nothing worked. He's been using Panther pre-release and it works a billion times better than 10.2.8, and it's cool...________________

My oh my, I thought that people said that 10.2.8 was faster at booting. Well, I would hate to see 10.2.7.  BTW - good luck in bringing you machine back to the land of the living (or at least the land of the computing).

You may want to look into installing panther. Oh and as far as startup times are concerned, now that I have panther installed, I dont put my tower to sleep anymore, because the startup time is so short. Before with jag it would take forever to boot.--------------------

Yep, like 3x [the 5 hrs included that…]Anyways… We got everything back to normal [meaning 10.2.6; and like last week…], and we loaded Panter without a hitch on Friday ^_^ [though, faste user switching isn't really that fast…But Expose and just watching expose (not productivly using it most of the time) is Spiffy enough to make up for it  ] quote:

lol, we are too lazy to even wait for it to startup… [the iMac is always asleep when noone is using it]and I don't even put the 9500/G3 [my main computer], my G3 DT, *OR* my SuperMac C600/240 to sleep! If I open my window all the bugs will get in…That's just one more reason to use a Mac!
