[Cube] OS-X 10.4 installation on standard Cube: problems

[Kim David McNeill Simmons]

Stefan,
	I have had my Cube since new and it is the 450 as well. I have kept  
OS0 on her as well as kept up with the OSX. She is currently running  
10.4.10, without a hitch.

	Best bet would be to start all over again, do not try putting a  
system onto a computer you just bought without wiping her off  
completely, including the OS9.
Start by putting a new OS9 on but wiping the hard drive, Once you  
have a good clean OS9 then install 10.3 or older and work your way up  
until you get to 10.4.10.
I am a firm believer of working up slowly to the current  system. My  
Cube has been a very rock solid computer, but long surpassed as a  
computer I use everyday. She admin the LAN network I have for my  
studio as well as if I wake up at night I can slip in to that room to  
go online. I keep her on all the time. She has 1.5 gig of ram and 120  
gig hard drive.

Try those things I suggested I would bet she will be just fine as  
long as you go about it slow and put in all updates per system  
upgrade as you go.

Skipping any upgrades as you go is not advisable, as long as you go  
10.2.8 to 10.3 to 10.3.9 to 10.4 to 10.4.2 and on
