OS 10.3 installation frustration part 2

[Anand Keathley]

There is one other thing that seems important in the diagnosing of the 
problems.  When I tried to put 10.2 back on at first I tried  archive 
and install.  That had the same symptoms; a black screen.  But when I 
did a clean install, it all worked again just fine.  As I understand it 
the archive and install retains the system settings of the previous 
system.   When I archived 10.2 and installed 10.3, it did not work.  
When I archived 10.3 and installed 10.2 it did not work.  only when I 
did a clean install of 10.2 did  things work as they should.

What's it all mean Mr. Natural?  (Old comic book reference.;-)
Oh, and one very last thing; I'm using a Tech Solutions usb keyboard 
originally designed to work with Windows.  It has white keys that are 
easier to see in low lighting.  Anyway,  when I installed 10.3, not 
only was the screen blank but the three LEDs at the top, right of the 
keyboard for number lock, caps lock and scroll lock, would go on for a 
few seconds then go off for a while.  Then they would go on for a few 
seconds and then go off for a while.  I watched it do that for half an 
hour with no other changes.

And that is all I have.
TIA,
        Anand
