10.2.8 kills another iMac

[Dennis B. Swaney]

My brother downloaded the LATEST version of 10.2.8 and has had a 
myriad of problems. It takes about 20 minutes to bootup and then only 
into single-user mode, the SuperDrive won't recognize holding down 
the "C" key at startup, and the Eject key does not work. He has run 
fsck -y but it doesn't seem to fix all the problems. One problem that 
is noted is something called an "overlap" but I'm not clear as to 
what that is referring. Since he just let Software Update do all of 
the install, I don't think that it was an Archive and Install job. 
Any suggestions?

I have ordered 10.3 so I hope that Apple will have fixed these 
problems before the 24th.
