Upgrading to Leopard
Colin White | Jan 23 2008
I teach math at a High school in Oklahoma. I attended a podcast workshop last summer mainly because if you attended you got a new macbook pro. Anyway the district is going to upgrade me to leopard on Friday(which I am pumped about) and I am looking for advice. So far I have everything backed up to my 80 gig ipod (which I also got for free at the workshop) and I have organized my folders and deleted all unnecessary files. So I am looking for advice on what else I should be doing to be ready for my upgrade. Also, should I ask for a clean install or just an upgrade install? Thanks 1 Comment

I would opt for a clean install, depending on how much effort you are willing to expend in making sure your software licenses are handled, and your preference tuning can be done quickly by memory. You can go through folders and copy things over back and forth but if you're not comfortable with that, it can be a real bear. If you have everything you want backed up, I would just re-initialize the disk and start from scratch. I am always a little suspicious of major rev "upgrades". I end up doing a Clean Install later down the road for some reason. » POSTED IN:
