you got any friends with high speed internet. Throw it in the car and take it there and update. Frankly that's what I do with my iMac when from time to time there are mammoth updates. It's a whole lot simpler than the days of frustration you'll go through.

For what it's worth, I go for Panther anyway. If your reason for updating is Safari, you'll get a newer version with Panther than you can ever install with 10.2.8. I think it works better and with more sites. Moreover, Panther just works better in general.

I am struggling with Dial-up, trying, trying to download the 10.2.8 update. I will get disconnected either after an hour or three hours. I can never get the whole thing. I have been using Software Update and sometimes it seems, to pick up where it left off, and other times not. I tryed downloading it from the apple site. No go. I just can not stay connected long enough to get it.
I would just forget about it, only I can not install Safari without it. Plus I am thinking maybe the update will improve my Dial-up connections. What to Do?


My setup is:
iMac 350mhz
640 MB ram
OS X 10.2.1
Mozilla 1.7.3
Earthlink(have tried both with and without the total access software)

I have also tried different access numbers.
