Speed up MBA System installation
Authored by: marook on Feb 22, '08 01:53:59PM

Well, this will speed up ANY Mac OS X install, be it MBA or other. If the OS X Install DVD is cloned to a HD (or as here, a DMG mounted) it runs Much faster.
Does it come as any surprise to people that the HD is ways faster than the DVD drive????

But you will need a new .11n AirPort Extreme base to see this speed increase.. :-)

Also, note: If you have 10.5.2 on your 'old' Mac, you can use Migration Assistant to transfer your stuff over to the new MBA.. just as if it was in Target Mode over FireWire!
