Well, after no trouble on my desktop, I decided to install 10.3.4 on my 12-in PB. Unfortunately, it's hanging on the "restart" part. Clicking restart does nothing, nor does hitting the 'enter" key. COmputer seems stuck.

Any help forthcoming? Please?

I forgot something that I think is important. Made the really dumb mistake of burning the update on a CD and then using that. Now the disk is "in use." I'm still hung up -- I'm sure that's the reason why. Machine is totally stuck and so am I.

Well, I slept on it and realized I could use the power button for a hard restart. Not the best option, but it worked! All is well.
