However booting from the 10.3 installer CD gives me "Fatal Signal :
Illegal instruction" messages
OK, I've tried a new CD-ROM, new HD, checked the PRAM battery, reset
CUDA all with the same problem.
I did the old unplug all the cards / ram and leave as such for an hour
before reassembly - the machine now boots from CD.
X is still buggered so I went to do a reinstall (keeping user
settings) but of course the version on my machine (10.3.7) is new than
the CD (10.3) so it won't let me proceed.
a) Is there a way to make a 10.3.7 CD from a 10.3 CD + Updaters
Four words: Clean Install With Archive. The installer program should
show your existing HD with a yellow icon on it indicating that you need
to click the to click the "Options" button. This takes you to the CIWA
screen.
You will need the appropriate amount of space available on your HD, of
course (usually around 1.5 Gb), but your 10.3 Boot CD should be quite
happy to do it. You will then reboot your computer and immediately
apply all updaters, starting with the highest version combo updater you
have.
