Today I tried an Archive and Install on my G3 Blue & White, OS 10.3.9. On the first try the installer quit and said an error occurred, try again.
The second try did not allow me to transfer of users and preferences from previous system. It too failed. Third try, a NEW system with NEW account was installed. This install worked fine except the old user accounts were missing. I found the old user folders in "Previous System.1" folder and I copied them to the NEW user folder. A restart caused a freeze (kernel panic?). Then I booted from a 9.1 install CD and moved the old user folders back to the original location (Previous System.1) and deleted them from the NEW user folder. Now I just get kernel panics upon restarts. How do I fix this disaster and get this B & W back with the original users intact? Thanks --glen (digest mode) P.S. I don't have a complete backup so I can't just restore and start all over again without losing some things I rather not lose. -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
