Try the "Show Panic Text" option in XPostFacto, to show the console messages as it goes through the install process. Also check the media for scratches, smudges, or anything else that could be interfering with its readability. I just install 10.2 on my 604 9500 recently, and had trouble with the brand-new CD's, which turned out to have a tiny-winy smudge of something on Disk 1, that made it unreadable at that place, at which time the installer quit with "exit code 0". Showing the Panic Text, I was able to see the I/O error message just before the exit, looked those up via Google, and lo and behold CD related read errors. I ejected the CD and look at the read surface and saw a smudge that I wouldn't normally have thought could be a problem and wiped it off. I think it may have been glue from the envelope. -Lars -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; Send list messages to: <mailto:[email protected]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Archive <http://www.mail-archive.com/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> iPod Accessories for Less at 1-800-iPOD.COM Fast Delivery, Low Price, Good Deal www.1800ipod.com
