Upgrade strategy
I've beta-tested Panther, Tiger, and Leopard and have always used and prefer the upgrade previous version option. It's the fastest option, deletes all earlier OS components that aren't needed, adds the new OS components, and doesn't create a Previous System folder. There's no messing around with the Migration Assistant, reinstalling applications, or moving stuff from the Previous System folder that the installer misses.
Upgrade strategy
I am using the opportunity of installing to upgrade my PB17's (last G4 version) hard drive to a faster 7200RPM drive. I'll install Leopard to my new drive in another enclosure as a clean install and play with it externally for awhile. This is also of course a good time to clean out all the cruft. A clean install is more time consuming, but I like having a fresh, clean system periodically. When I bought a mini to use at work, I was amazed at how a new and clean system could be so, uh, "snappy":). |
