Any ideas on how > to get the machine to update? First: Crashing how? A Kernel panic?, A spinning pinwheel of death? 'An Error has occured'? Check the system log for clues to what is going on at the install time. Second: Have you tried booting in safe mode (hold down the shift key at startup) and installing the upgrade that way? Second-and-a-half: Install and run Applejack <http://applejack.sourceforge.net/> Third: all else fails, this would be one of the times to do anArchive & Install of the OS. But I'll wager the system log will tell you what's happening at the time it crashes. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
