Hello - thanks to anyone who may be able to shed some light
on the following:

I bought and installed a 120G WD Caviar HD
(purposely under the 128G max for this model)
installed as SLAVE to the factory Quantam Fireball 10G.

The G4 AGP Tower is a 400mhz/740ram
now with orig. 10G (master) and 120G (slave)
partitioned to 80G/30G.

Leaving all the OS9 apps and files intact on the 10G,
I formatted the new 120G as a mac extended.

I then installed OS9.0 on the 80G, and updated to OS9.2

(Firmware update had been current on the G4 previously
(firmware update for new HD?)

followed by JAGUAR installation disc 1 only
and all the updates - "about this computer" indicates
10.2.6 running.

Now I get crash errors (black unix through the desktop)
after a few minutes of operation.

I have run disk first aid with no problems, verified and repaired
permissions more than once. FSCK -Y
under admin log-in numerous times.

I think the problem lies with user log-in (root?) issues ?

Disk copy is intermittent when mounting dmg files
although the pkg file shows the correct icon.

Does my G4 AGP even run 10.2.6 ?

I will follow this post up with crash log from the console
when I get home.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXPERTISE
