The upgrade works fine! After the reboot, the funny apple logo come and nothing
more --> I tried to install mac os after the crash, but he couldn´t install any
partiotion. I checked the partion table with mac-fdisk of installation disk -->
no partitions.

That´ s the funny think! I have no idea, why this happens, but it happens (3
times). There´se only a 10.2 installation will all extra/testing packages and i
upgrade via slapt-get to current. After upgrade i installed the "missing"
packages --> acl ...! Nothing else.
Have you installed all packages on your mac mini?
