Mac OS X update impossible

Good evening!

I recently got a used Power Mac G4 1.25ghz DP. I erased and initialized the hard drive, then I installed Mac OS X 10.2.3 Jaguar, with the original CDs, sold as a pack with the computer at the time.

Everything works fine (except a Kernel panick that I manage with the shift button during the booting of the system), but since I'm new with MAC OS X (I used to work and play with Windows 98 SE during 10 years!), I would like to discover everything little by little, and progressively installing updates. So I downloaded the 10.2.4 update package, and was told it was impossible to install this software on my Hard Drive; I don't know how it is told in English but the message was "ce volume ne répond pas à la configuration requise nécessaire à la mise à jour".

I searched on the web, and this message is very, very frequent. However, nobody really managed to get the real reason and the answer to the problem.

It is something still recurring with Snow Leopard.

Please does anybody have an idea?


Thank you!
 
That message usually means that you are trying to install an update that is older than your present OS X version, or not needed, or simply the wrong update for your OS X system. Here's a link to the 10.2.8 combined update, which should update any 10.2.x version, and should be OK for your system: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL645?viewlocale=fr_FR
That version 10.2.8 will be the newest version that you can install, unless you purchase a newer version of OS X. Your PowerMac G4 can go as high as OS X 10.5.8 - assuming that you have more than 512 MB of RAM memory installed.
 
Uh, OK, so I suppose that a 10.2.8 update adds everything previously found on 10.2.4, 10.2.5 and so on...right?
