[Ti] OS upgrade

[Simon Royal]

Hi

Or if you have Tiger installed you can use LeopardAssist which gets round 
the installer and is very simple to use. I did it on my 400Mhz Sawtooth 
PowerMac G4.

Leopard will not install directly on a Titanium Powerbook less than  
867Mhz.

However, you CAN install it if you have access to any other Mac which  
will take a direct install of Leopard.

You simpley connect the TiBook to the other Mac in firewire disk mode,  
load the install disk on the auxiliary Mac and specify the install go  
onto the TiBook disk. When you restart the TiBook, voila, OS X Leopard  
will boot and initialize. You can then migrate your home directory  
from a backup.

I have Leopard running on a 667Mhz TiBook and used my Aluminum  
PowerBook to install it.
