actually not -
i hav talked to a few ter people -
and they have had similar expeciences
albeit most often 'upgrading' raaher than 'clean' installing to 10.2
I talked to one personI used to work with - he has a 'plan' for installs
of OSX -
they go something like this - (and this should NOT be needed to get a
stable install):
* erase/format the drive using the drive utility on the installer CD
* install OSX
* run a disk utiliy - he uses BOTH Norton and diskwarrior, defraging as
well
repeat
* install an app
* run a disk utiliy - he uses BOTH Norton and diskwarrior, defraging as
well
until (no more app to install)
his claim is that the installer (possibly aided by the swap file) heavily
fragments the drive, and leads to directory problems.
He further claims that using this method - on every software install the
utilites have reported some sort of directory repair, and some level of
disk fragmentation.
he has one futher observation - Apple's OSX disk utiltiy is just about
useless
