leopard install

Feb 3, 2008 8:00AM PST

I'm about to install leopard (I wanted to wait until I had the $ and at least a 10.5.1 to come out, which there is now, and even a 10.5.2 coming soon).

I have used the SuperDuper! app to clone my tiger installation and my question is:

Which is better: the archive and install option or clean install with migration assistant of the cloned tiger installation?

I'm on a 1st gen. Macbook (core duo) and cloned my tiger install on an external usb drive.

A good question and worthy of an answer.

Go for the archive and install and all should be well.

If it fails, reimage from the superduper and go again.

I'm betting that it is going to work the first time

Let us know

The Archive and Install did the trick. Even Firefox seems to load faster.
