I know your mad - get this, I had 6 G4s but only one would let me install 10.4.11, the other 5 are exactly the same inside and outside, but only this one would install, so I just moved the hd to each after the install and updates worked just fine - still do not know why?

(if you could only see me rolling my eyes.) All of them were at 10.4.11. It is quite upsetting that I can't seem to do a fresh install of the OS. I've not heard of updates creating that kind of problem, but anything is possible. I just need to get the basic OS installed onto this darned hard drive so I can install the updates.
