Interesting update. I repaired permissions before running and again afterwards...
After the install repair permissions did not pick anything up at all, I have never seen this before. I wonder if it is repairing permissions during the install, that woud be a great improvement.
After restarting the machine I tried a Shutdown, left it for a couple of minutes and rebooted. Low and behold my, and the other user accounts reappeared.
Jeez - that kind of takes your breath away.
Now I just need to figure out how I'm going to backup 70GBs worth of data.
Any ideas why a shutdown did the trick but a restart didn't?
So far so good... hard to guage whether there are any snappiness ? improvements since my dualie was more or less greased lightning before the update. If my cable connection ever shapes up tonight (problems in my area) I will test the new video drivers with MOHAA. Trying to think of what else I could use but....
There's a few reports floating around saying that this upgrade messes with the fan on 12"PBs ie. they don't power down and run continuously. This would seem great for cooling the unit but I'd imagine it would seriously affect the battery life.

Anyone upgraded a 12" and can shed some light?
Well, that's exactly what seems to have happened here. If it doesn't quit when I'm on battery power, I'll be upset. So far it doesn't seem to make a difference...

It's stopped. I'm not sure why it was on earlier because it seems warmer now than it did before. Whatever. I'm happy that nothing's broken and there's at least the prospect of networking stuff working better.
10.3.2 gave my Power Mac G4 Dual a sleep problem it never had before (includes 10.2.6, 10.2.8, 10.3 and 10.3.1). Put it to sleep, 10 seconds later wakes from sleep with loud click. Not good.
All other programs (15 or so I ran) have had no problems so far. Disk utility works OK repairing permissions.
Boot times are bit slower (maybe 3-4 seconds), and it sounds like it is doing a prebinding routine not present in earlier versions.
No problems on a G5 single 1.8. I'll try on a G4 iBook soon (which I'm also contemplating trying out that new battery update on...a little nervous about that one since I'm getting a nice constant 4 hours).
Regarding 10.3.2, the release build is build 7D24, which we have had from ADC and used for a few days now.
If you use Safari's "Autofill" feature a lot, you might want to hold off on this update. Apple has not responded to several bug reports about the Autofill not working properly (it fails to autofill at sites where it previously worked fine).
It might be the recent Security update (that modified Safari) that is responsible also.
Anybody noticed problems with Autofill after the Security Update?
ok, i take it back... seems my fan is indeed on overdrive. On my 12" pb the fan rarely comes on, but when it does, it's for a minute tops. this time about an hour after i installed 10.3.2 it came on and then turned off after about a min... about 10 seconds after it turned off, it turned back on again and has been on ever since... about 20 min... odd.
Tracked down sleep problem to some sort of extension conflict (shades of OS 9).
Rebooted in Safe Boot mode (hold down shift key). Reinstalled update. Rebooted in Safe Mode. Put to sleep. Responds properly to keyboard wakeup but no response to Kensington trackball movement. So it looks as if it is not Apple's fault, but perhaps the trackball or other extension loaded at boot.

It's just nuked my home directory (now 52k) and I've lost all my work - 6 years worth of portfolio and fonts and music and photos and everything!
Why didn't I back up?

because computers are the only thing known to man that are routinely fixed by turning them off and then back on...
they will be the downfall of mankind
or maybe nuclear weapons...one or the other

It's just as well we don't rely on computers to control our nuclear weapons then eh?
Oh...

Apple is an a**hole company.

Repairing permissions...
EDIT: Well, I can say for certain that software update stores partially downloaded updates even after you quit software update.
I would like to hear how people with 12" PowerBooks do with Battery Update 1.1 and 10.3.2, keep the feedback coming in!

Boot times still slower.
