Hello kt:
Excuse my smug tone in prior post.
Forgot to mention that i ensured that the maintenance routines had run via macaroni, did a full permissions repair, Disk utility repair and a diskwarrior rebuild. Furthermore, no Norton products have ever been installed on my Pismo OSX. All of these preventive measures should have helped. Definitely contributed to me running out of gas and gambling on a straight update instead of fresh install. Either that or the painkillers i'm on for my back surgery last week...which also may have contributed to the smug tone.
I really had geared up for a clean install - maybe even wiping the drive in order to get find by content/spotlight indexing to work properly. Will wait for my next drive upgrade. I wimped out, but am still surprised by the mostly positive outcome.
Will also look for the Epson drivers mentioned by TurtleBear.
Anyway, let's focus on the reports of Tiger issues, solutions and features. Should help everyone make or decide to make the transition.

Hello,
I have finally had a successful install on my PowerBook 17" 1GHz with 1 Gig of ram. I initially tried the update and when I rebooted everything was slower than molasses trying to go uphill. System Profiler and Safari would not even launch. I then did a reinstall, same problem. I then reinstalled OS 10.3.9 (not a good idea according to Apple) and still problems.
Today I decided to bite the bullet and erase and install and now everything is fine. I had backed up all data and software so should not be a problem now.
