|
|
Hello again, I have a question regarding a clean install.
I have the original install discs for Tiger, and a single install disc for Snow leopard. If i were to do a fresh install (first backing up, then wiping SSD) can i just use the OSX Tiger discs, update all software THEN use the Snow leopard single disc installation? When the SN update disc came out, it was a breeze to update, i'm just unsure if it will be as easy, once i wipe the SSD and use OSX tiger discs initially. Sorry for convoluted question,
Also what are the steps to take to create a new user.
I just want a clean install on my MM.
Many thanks
Macnewbie
MM 1.1 2.3GHZ 2 GB ram 256 GB SSD running SL. |

What happened to Leopard? 10.5.8
An upgrade to SL requires Leopard first.
If you want to make life real easy on yourself, you could just order SL for $19.99 shipped from Apple and do a one disk install.
I did this, because I wanted a clean install, without going through the hoops (an time) of installing multiple OSs.
Add account through system preferences. Accounts, then click the + |

Hello Bandit Bill,
I have an intel MM, and was told because of that, i could do an upgrade from Tiger to SNow Leopard. Seemed to have worked fine.
Thanks for the tips though.

I question if it is a "drop in" , " upgrade disk". I believe you have a full version of Snow Leopard. Anyhow, glad it worked for you. Your mini should now give you a few more years of use. |
