Hi .. I got the OS back to 10.5.1 and it worked fine. Then I did a full SD backup to my USB connected eternal drive and (silly me) tried to upgrade to 10.5.2 again. Same problem recurred. So now I have a base system on the backup drive that works and is reasonably current. So back to my original question, how do I restore from that backup when the finder doesn't work? Sorry I don't understand the restore process, never having done it and not really understanding what is going on under the covers.

Thanks

Peter.
