From: Dale Goodvin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> With much trepidation, yesterday I upgraded to Panther from 10.2.
A miracle occurred: the upgrade has been absolutely SEAMLESS!!
Actually, it's not a miracle at all: it's the NORMAL user experience.
You have to remember that the people who come here with problems are NOT in any way, shape or form representative of typical users. The list is, by its nature, slanted towards the tiny minority who are having issues.
I've done literally hundreds of Panther installations (all from the same CD -- *just joking!*), and have had problems on maybe 1-2%. The normal course of action is that full upgrade takes maybe an hour, and everything works fine after that.
I would have to say that repairing permissions before and after, as is my custom, is probably helpful in avoiding problems.
