Dale, I just did a clean install yesterday and the only problems so far is that FruitMenu & ASM no longer work. It DID take several hours though; I basically started around 8:30 A.M. and finished about midnight. The longest part was going from 10.2 to 10.2.3. After installing 10.2 and running fsck & fix permissions, I decided to download the 10.2.3 combo update. After about 3 hours, Software Update quit with an error message. So I launched OmniWeb, went to Apple and started the download of 10.2.1. Three hours later it finished downloading; 3 minutes later it had been installed. I then re-launched OmniWeb and decided to try to dl the 10.2.3 combo. 8 hours later it it finished; 5 minutes later it had been installed. I then went back and got Safari, spent about an hour playing with it, and finally went to bed. Needless to say, where I live DSL.Cable is NOT available! I may have to buy a PC (ugh) and get Starband.
