The Ghost
In the Machine
Before receiving Tiger today, I set up 5 partitions on my external--3 for installing Tiger 3 ways (from 10.3.9): (a) update, (b) archive and install, and (c) erase and install. I used (a) today. After updating, I tested the critical things--network/AirPort, Office, browsers, iPhoto, iTunes, and etc. The update worked so well that I cloned the Tiger-update partition on the external to my internal almost immediately. The only minor problem that has turned up is that Menu Meters wouldn't work (ho hum)--so I trashed it.
Also, I was having trouble sharing partition 5 on the external with our PCs under 10.3.9 using SharePoints (although I never had problems before moving to 10.3.9). Tiger fixed things; the share showed up immediately. And, Tiger fixed an odd printing from-the-internet problem I have been having.
I have no real advice to offer since my update went essentially perfectly. But, I might suggest updating to 10.3.9 before moving to Tiger if you see that others are having problems starting with earlier OS versions. Also, for what it is worth, I installed iLife 05 on 10.3.9 before updating to Tiger.
I will do archive and install/preserve user and network settings tomorrow and eventually will get around to doing a pristine custom intall of Tiger soon. I'll post again on this thread once I do the archive and install.
