Hi Sri...
That's really useful information you give me there - I was
wondering why the beast is so docile in safe mode, when it totally
hangs in normal boot!
I shall definitely play with this when I've cleared a little space on
the bench for it: it's been put out of
5-10 minutes after a cold boot but see it freeze a lot faster
on a reboot.) When you're in safe mode, OS X emulates all graphic
functions in software; since the Radeon chip doesn't get activated,
the eMac works fine.

Well I finally ran to earth my Apple Hardware test disc for eMac.
Unfortunately the eMac it came with was a 1GHz or earlier (SW version
1.2.2s/n 691-4177-A)
so when I restarted with the CD it said that it could not run and
offered me a restart.
So no further on.

Safe Mode is a restricted/limited environment. Many drivers are not
loaded. Many services are not running. It is meant as a
debug/repair type mode, not for regular use.
Running as you suggest is the equivalent
ng with it as a result of email conversations with an ebayer who
had one up for sale. She said that hers will surf in safe mode, so I dug
mine out with a view to trying this out.
When I turned it on I found that I was in the middle of re-installing OSX on
it when I got fed up some weeks ago.
