Before I upgrade to tiger from panther 10.3.9... I'm wondering which is the best way to go about this... Already, I have made a carbon copy clone of my drive, and I will repair disk permissions and disk warrior one last time before I upgrade... Since I already have a good backup, is it OK to simply use the upgrade command, or is it better to do archive and install... ( unless absolutely necessary I would rather not do a clean install since that takes so long)...? - should I first uninstall any particular applications such as Norton System Works 3 - quickeys 2.1 Etc.? Also - are there any known bugs or tricks that I should be aware of to accomplish this upgrade? Another question: If I create a working (G4) Tiger system on an external FireWire enclosure, can I then move that drive to an older G4 Computer and then carbon copy clone that system from the external FireWire to the internal hard drive successfully? In other words, is OSX tiger - a universal operating system - independent of any particular hardware? -- Thanks - RevDave CoolCat at hostalive.com [db-lists]
