| Question: Installing Jaguar on Firewire HD I am thinking about installing Jaguar on a fresh 60GB Firewire Hard Drive that I have and booting from the firewire drive whenever I want to use Jaguar. Can you boot off of a Firewire Hard Drive and use it to install an operating system? Also, if I install Jaguar seperately on the Firewire Drive will it at all affect my main hard drive that I have 10.1 on, by storing preferences or any system files, etc. on the main hard drive? Will everything Jaguar related be kept on the firewire drive? I was thinking that this would be the safest way to use Jaguar for a few months and get a feel for it before it is officially released and I can upgrade to it. Thanks for the help... DJ

| Yup, it'll install and boot. Nope, it won't muck with your settings/applications/preferences/users on the main 10.1 hard drive. Go for it. Let me know what to expect when I can get my hands on Jaguar!
