Yeah, each group seems to have their own quirks.
I don't know why the hard drive seems to make a difference.
I did a bunch of digging and reading last night on Apple's and XLR8's web sites. I found a little tidbit about Western Digital drives that I did not know. Mike said not to jumper a WD drive to master, but to remove all pins so it is set to single, if it is the only drive. I also found a recommendation of trying erase and install, rather than reformat the drive and installing.
As I write this, the jumperless WD drive is getting a fresh Erase & Install of OS 10.2 from the CD.
Try using Xpostfacto to install your updates.
This machine is for a friend who definitely needs a simple setup. Not that Xpostfacto is complicated, but I don't want to have to go over to her house every time some bit of software needs updating.

I do have one other drive I can try in it: a 20 GB Seagate. However, I had other plans for that drive.
Thanks to all for their suggestions.
