[X Newbies] updating to Panther on new HD

[Raoul Armfield]

I was just wondering, if you are suggesting doing a clean install of
Panther on the new drive, what is the point of installing jaguar on it
even if you are using carbon copy cloner?  Is that not just a waste of
time?

:>This is actually a good way to do it.
:>1. Clone your Jaguar installation onto the new disk using 
:Carbon Copy Cloner.
:>2. Do either an upgrade or a clean install of panther onto the new
:>disk.  Many people recommend clean install, but I've done it both
:>ways and the upgrade install is much easier. If you're having
:>problems in Jaguar, the clean install is safer.
:>3. Set startup disk to the new disk and you should be in business.
:>This way avoids the setup of user prefs that can be fairly
:>time-consuming.
:>4. When you're happy with Panther (which will be quickly!), you can
:>upgrade your other disk too. That gives you two installations, which
:>is a big help if you ever have problems; you can switch to the other
:>one and run disk utilities form it.
