I didn't think you were able to boot from Xpostfacto from CD? I thought you'd be better doing a carbon clone of boot drive to second HD (If you've got one) Definately space for a few in 9500! and then do the above recomendations?
What's exactly the difference in your opinion? I don't believe the fact that we are geographical antipodes can cause this kind of babylonian confusion of tongues! LOL! We are talking about upgrading a working OS 10.2.x to 10.2.8 isn't it?

Jo,
No difference just that my understanding is you cannot boot an unsupported mac from OSX CD can only be achieved using Xpostfacto and Internal and more recently external firewire drives.
Therefore my statement is create a carbon copy of your working OSX (in this case 10.2.x) to another HD, boot from that, run your Disk Utilities to repair permissions etc, install upgrade to non active boot drive then, reboot and run DIsk Util process again.
Sorry for any confusion I may have caused, that's perhaps cause I'm down under!!!
