Apple Pulls Mac OS X 10.2.8 Software Updater
For users who have not yet upgraded, the Mac OS X 10.2.8 Update no longer appears in Software Update.
While the majority of users who applied the update have done fine... there are multiple reports of problems -- including users' losing network connections (potential fix) and others are having boot problems on their iMacs/eMacs.
Update: Standalone updaters have now been pulled too.

Crud. I already downloaded. I usually wait a day too just to make sure there are no problems. That'll teach me.

I was waiting to upgrade here at the office for this very reason. I can screw up a home computer with little impact on my daily life, but problems at work can't be had right now.
Glad I waited.

I believe this may be one of those times that is the reason they call it the "bleeding" edge... :D

Well, I've been running 10.2.8 since this morning on my iBook 700 with Combo and have had no problems. I don't use an ethernet connection, but use AirPort for Wi-Fi, which is still functioning perfectly well. All the usual stuff I use is working great and the OS does appear to be a bit snappier. HDD access has gone down a bit too. I've also watched DVDs and burned from the combo without problem. Might be desktop specific problems.

Have apple ever pulled an update off of Software Update before? I can't remember one, but I could be wrong.
I'm glad I was reading the forums and decided there was too much chance of grief with this one.
Besides, seems there is always some driver or application that gets broken, so I usually wait a few weeks and check round for 3rd party updates.
This must suck if you have an affected machine.
