It might just be a for-some-reason-bad install, and trying again will take care of it. Also try the "back-up current user settings and do a clean install" option.
One troubleshooting technique I have found that works wonders on troublesome things is to pull the ethernet cable during installs, or updates. OS-X likes to connect to LANs and WANs whenever possible, but doing so can cause odd things to happen. Once you are finished, plug the cable back in. It it still won't work, you might try the following: XPostFacto which is a OS-9 control panel / app that lets you intall OS-X on the older unsupported systems. It has beern repeorted to install it on troublesome Macs that should install from the CDs, but don't. http://eshop.macsales.com/OSXCenter/XPostFacto/ Jerry On Wednesday, December 18, 2002, at 01:30 PM, John Stone wrote: > Hello All, > > Was installing 10.2 on my G3 iMac DV and it installs the first cd, > then restarts and all I get is the grey screen with the white apple > and a little twirling logo.
