I recently installed the OS 10.2.8 Update Combo onto a Mac G4, which
was previously running OS 10.2.3.  After installing the Update Combo,
I can't view anything on the computer?!?!?!?  I tried rebooting the
computer several times, but the computer just goes to a blank desktop
window.  No menu commands and desktop items are viewable.

I restarted the computer holding down the X key and rebooting from a
system disk, but nothing.  I tried reinstalling the system, but the
hard drive isn't present when trying to select a drive to install the
system onto.  I was able to run disk repair, but nothing happened.

Does anyone know how to fix this problem???

Have you tried booting from the Install Cd and then repairing permissions?
