I'm finally upgrading my G4/533 to Tiger and have several questions
before I do:
1. I don't have a DVD drive so I'm going to use my son's Macbook to
help install. I'm confused though about the Target Disk mode. When I
connect the two computers, which one should be started up in Target
Disk mode - the G4 or the Macbook? Should they be connected while both
shut down? Should one of them be started up before the other one? Any
good online guides for this?
2. Although I know it's probably best to wipe the drive and do a clean
install, I'd prefer not to do that. When I upgraded from 10.1 to 10.2,
I believe I did an "Archive and Install". Any problems doing that with
this upgrade? I do have a fresh backup in case anything goes wrong and
have just run DiskWarrior so my current system should be in good shape.
Thanks in advance for any help with this. And happy Thanksgiving to all
the US folks on the list.
