Exactly. I never have used anything but the COMBO. COMBO can even be 
re-applied to a OS X 10.2.6 to cure problems from partial update.
Actually, after reports (from me as well) to Macfixit.com that COMBO 
does avoid all the problems from the partial update the macfixit 
sponsored solutions is indeed to disregard the partial and apply the 
COMBO systematically.

So, once again: if your 10.2.6 shows some weirdness do yourself a 
favor: apply the COMBO on it before attempting other drastic (ie start 
piecemeal changes) solutions.
