O.K. Gory details; Installed from 10.2 imac disks. NO XPostFacto.
Was finally able to run through installation WITHOUT unwanted language packages being installed. (erased partition.) ( IF there is any evidence of a Foreign language ever having been installed, the installer will re-install IN SPITE of choices made in the 'custom install' section.)
Combined Updates 10.2.6 & 10.2.8 installed. Security updates thru 4-8-05 installed.
I was able to locate and update the 'new' installation with the 'old' 'Bookmarks', 'Address Book', & 'Mail' files. So I'm back in business. (With a FIRM commitment to keep a current set of 'data backups' --- Like I keep telling others they should be doing.)
But, one question, where is the 'Trash' file kept. I want to try retrieving some things from the CCC copy of the 'old' disk.
