Thanks guys, I managed to clone my installation using disk utilities several times trying to update Tiger. Alas none of the updates produced a usable OS. I did learn a great deal while experiencing some serious growing pains. Solaris was a much easier OS to manage than OS X. It has been several years since I tackled anything this complicated.
You guys are well versed in this area and I do appreciate all the help you have given me. Guess it is time to dig in the pockets and donate to the cause.

Again thanks for the support.
