Can I just use the software update note in the menu to upgrade to
10.3.9? I have seen some notes about backing up data and repairing
permissions before doing this.

Backing up to another volume/partition/disk ensures data won't be
lost/corrupted during hardware/software changes. Which software update
note? Do you mean the one that pops up after you've selected "Check for
Updates" in the Software Update PreferencePane and restarted? If so, yes
you can do that or you can boot with your install CD, launch Disk Utility
and repair both the boot disk and its permissions before doing the
automatic updates. Then, restart the eMac and install the offerred updates
when the dialog box pops up. When finished, launch Disk Utiltiy and repair
permissions again. See

The Apple menu has an item-"Software Update". I clicked on that and a
list of updates appear which includes " Mac OS X Update combined
10.3.9"<br>
