Only problem I've had is that it seemed to have destroyed my Firewalk X daemon (therefore allowing my lovely Mac to be open to one and all for the past 12hrs!!!)

Don't even bother, I've closed it again!

No problems with 10.2.8... On the contrary:
Safari no longer crashes for me! I could crash the damn thing in 5 mins without doing anything special! But now, no matter how hard I try to crash it, nothing!

As for the transparencies in Dock, I'm using ClearDock with APE and no problems with that too!

Also, in System Preferences Keyboard and Mouse are one pane like in Panther and it clearly has a Bluetooth tab too!

I will post a pic of my 10.2.8 setup running on a PowerMac G4/933 shortly...

*EDIT*
Here it is:

I'm still running 10.2.6 and use Apple's Beta X11 environment and OpenOffice from OpenOffice.Org. Has anyone installed10.2.8 without loss of X11 and OpenOffice? I *REALLY NEED* OpenOffice to work and not go down. I'm not kidding, I absolutely must have OpenOffice to work without patches, etc... Anyone?

Yes. If you had 7 installed, the update would revert you down to 6. Minor but stupid detail.

I lost my access to the Internet/local network through my ethernet port. I rebooted in OS 9 and the access was ok. I don't know what the Mac OS 10.2.8 update did, but I really need a solution soon. -- I'm sending this email from another machine.

The solution is to revert the AppleGMACEthernet.kext from the new version (1.3.0) to the 10.2.6 version (1.2.4) and reboot. This file is located in System/Library/Extensions. You can pull this file from an older Mac OS X system that has not yet been updated, then replace it by booting into Mac OS 9 and overwriting the old file (which you should back up, just in case).

You can download the file needed HERE if you need it.
