Going back to 10.2.2 from 10.2.4
posted the same thing at the Apple boards, thought i'd just see if someone here knew the answer.
OK, so I've installed 10.2.4 on two machines now. Since then I've noticed a handful of new things.
1. The battery life on my PB is terrible now. That is not good.
2. I can no longer connect to a wide variety of windows shares. When I try to connect I get a (-36) error and it can't connect. This has been the case since 10.2.3, and it's not just me. The problem is campus wide at our University, and no one has figured out a solution yet.
3. I now have page-ins all the time. Used to have 0, now I have thousands.
4. Apps. now take an extremely long time to launch. Apps. that used to launch in a second now take 20-30 seconds to launch.
So, what would be the best way to go BACK to 10.2.2 from 10.2.4? I'd rather not reformat these machines if I don't have to. Anyone know of a way to do it without reformatting the drive?
I tried installing the old update but that wouldn't run.

Well I have to dissagree here. Yes I know there is a problem with the clock on some macnines, but I always enable the network time server so that is not realy a problem. Otherwise it is without a doubt the best update yet.

Same here, there appears to be more problems than corrections. <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" /> <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" /> <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[oyvey]" /> <img src="confused.gif" border="0">
My new iMac came with 10.2.3 and I haven't had a single problem. I won't be upgrading any time soon.

I enable the network time too, I don't care about the time problem. It just seems that a lot of people have been having problems and 10.2.3 works fine for me so I'll stick with it for now.
i have yet to see a sinlgle benefit to 10.2.4, and i've repaired disk permissions already.
i was rather annoyed when i couldn't connect to smb drives anymore. nothing in that update was worth that.
