<div dir="ltr"><div>I just tried installing Leopard (10.5.4) on my G5 single with "archive and install". It worked fine until the end, where I got a message saying that the installation was almost complete - a minute left. After about 10 minutes, I clicked on the "utilities" menu in the menu bar and suddenly got a spinning beach ball. The progress bar stopped moving at the same time. The situation remained the same for over an hour before I shut down my G5.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I rebooted without the install DVD and got an intro video and then Migration Manager kicked in. The video and Migration Manager continued recycling if anything besides migrating system and network prefs. I went for that as I thought that the other bits could probably be transfered later. I got the following error message:</div>
<div><br></div><div><div>"Networking settings could not be transferred correctly"</div><div><br></div><div>I booted into the system. Looong boot up with a yellowish-white screen, then a black one and then finally I got a prompt to set settings, register, etc. Access to the Internet through my router worked, I also suddenly got a prompt that updates to the system were available. I decided things couldn't get that much worse, so I updated to <a href="http://10.5.5.">10.5.5.</a> The system rebooted and things still seem to be working, though I still think the system boot is long compared to Tiger.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Looking at the bright side, I have what seems to be a working system. I also have a folder on the drive labeled "previous system". What do I do now?</div><div><br></div><div>1) Should I boot from the install DVD and run Disk Utility to check disk is OK and permissions are fine?</div>
<div><br></div><div>2) How do I get all of my user stuff, apps, preferences registration keys, etc. (particularly my Mail prefs, mailboxes, accounts, etc.) transfered from the "previous system"?</div><div><br></div>
<div>3) Can I just move the OS 9 stuff that was with Tiger to the trash?</div><div><br></div><div>I waited as long as I did to upgrade to Leopard, to make sure that Apple had sussed out the upgrade procedure. This obviously still isn't the case.</div>
