Yup. the display colours had been shifted from millions to thousands during the install. I switched it back, and it made no difference, so restarted and now everything is pretty again. ....
I had the exactly same thing happen, restart did the trick for me too ...
Tho it only seemed it was safari that was all metal-mucked-up...
No one has mentioned yet that the Keyboard and Mouse pref panes have been consolidated into a single pane, which has a Bluetooth tab as well. I thought that was pretty cool.
i used to have this "problem" in Safari, where pages that specified Verdana as the font, in smaller sizes, appeared aliased. and i even tried changing the default sizes in preferences. it all seems to be fixed now; all fonts are nice and smooth and readable.
Wow! Nice update. I mean REALLY nice. Tons of added features and even a little speed boost for my Pismo ... at least it "feels" faster.
Panther better be AMAZING, or I'm going to stick with 10.2.8 for a while until the first few bugs are worked out of Panther ... maybe 10.3.2 or later.
I just hope this Jaguar update is a good sign for how incredible Panther will be ... and not a reminder of how great Jaguar is and how Panther will need to have the usual bugs worked out like Jaguar has needed over the past year.
I don't want to purchase a new OS if the benefits don't STRONGLY outweigh the frustration caused by the bugs that creep in before the second or third update.

I think the 20% speed increase I've seen on two computers installed with panther is worth it at least.
Ok I am scared to death. I did the update and it is going on 10 minutes for the restart. I am staring at a little spinning circle now for a ling time!! Help!
Uh oh it is now like 30 minutes of spinning circle and nothing! What do I do?
I'm so not installing this! My HD got corrupted somehow last week and I bit the bullet and reformatted and reinstalled everything (up to 10.2.6). Everything is working brilliantly now...better than ever.

Ho, hum. My guess is due to the size of this update Panther is not coming soon.
There is no correlation with this update and the forthcoming release of Panther. By all accounts, Panther is coming late next month. Ho hum to you!

one bounce on a 500MHz G3 iBook, too

Same here, same computer.
This update seems to have provided a nice little speed boost.
I wonder if Safari is faster in build 85.5?

where do you download this update what is the web page?
At the moment is only available via software update in your system prefs panel..
In a day or so there will be a direct d/l somewhere on vt or macupdate
The last time I had an update do that to me I just forced a reboot, and it came up just fine the second time.
FYI, downloaded the update, installed, restarted, everything's peachy. Haven't had it long enough to notice anything drastic.

Maybe in a few weeks I'll feel differently.
