Well, I then had the same problem with OpenOffice (a showstopper), tried
loading the debugging kernel and then the system refused to boot
completely (got into a twitch/boot loop).  Since I could not find the
10.3 DVD and I *really* need this beast to work (and the backups were
not as recent as they could have been - a hardware problem) I reverted
to 10.1.

10.2 does not even install on my Via C3 hardware.

10.1 appears to be rock solid.  All the other 10.3 problems I had are
gone.  It'll take end-of-life for 10.1 to get me to move again and it
won't be to 10.3.  Someone seems to be compiling 10.3 update packages
with instructions my poor little Via does not know.

Thanks
