10.2.8 if you want to keep running YDL. If you call Apple Support, they'll

I'm the one who originally reported the problem with 10.2.8. You can 
downgrade to 10.2.6 by booting from the installation CD and choosing "Archive 
and Install" (you have to go through a few menus before you get there). Also 
make sure you check the box underneath Archive and Install that preverses 
your network and other settings.

In my case the above procedure brought me back to version 10.2.3; I then used 
Software Update in System Preferences to upgrade to 10.2.6. It isn't a 
perfect process; there are a couple of programs that got trashed. But overall 
it works pretty well.

I am, however, very disappointed in Apple. This is the kind of crap I expect 
from Microsoft! Next time I won't be so quick to install a system update.
