[QUOTE="SquALeD, post: 595499, member: 41351"] [b]Gone back to Tiger[/b] I agree, its not worth it - yet. Tried the archive and install method first - When Leopard started up all I got was a blank desktop and loads of weird stuff. Went with clean install (everything backed up so no probs), booted up fine, ok! here we go! - Oh, straight into the dark curtain crash! Right, reboot, straight back to the dark curtain - great! Just kept doing this cycle. Now, I got this iMac with 10.2 installed and have done all the OS upgrades to 10.4 over a few years and [B]never[/B] had one crash ever and now thats all my mac does :Grimmace: The 3rd install attempt seemed to work for a day or so but then I started getting the probs as mentioned by the OP. I really wanted to use Leopard on my iMac G5 but after installing I get most of the problems that dcghile is experiencing plus my mac was running at 78 degrees c with user cpu at 100% or near to it. This was with nothing running, or nothing I was running! So yes, after constant random crashes, mail suddenly losing all the user accounts (nice!) and the aforementioned heat issues I reverted to Tiger 10.4.11 iMacs been running for a couple of days constantly now, idles at 35 degrees, maxes out around 60, all apps work as they should. I miss Time Machine but SuperDuper! is doing fine here. Leopard is sitting in the drawer. I will use it but not for a while yet. Sq [/QUOTE]
