i'm using 10.2.3 on a new pb 12" so it's probably a slightly different version of X. in any case i used themechanger the other day to install rhapsody and upon reboot today the system would not boot... got the question mark as though it could not see the system. just a word of warning for folks.

It's probably the BootX file that is causing trouble. Try unchecking it and switch the theme again.

I had the same thing happen to me today. I previously had Rhapsody installed, and then installed BBX Mercury. I had to reboot today and got the flashing question mark. However, I booted in with the Mac OS 9 install CD, Control Panel->Startup Disk and selected the X hard drive and all was well.
