I have just finished listening to the guided tour of Leopard. A
number of things confused me.
1. Is the Leopard disc simply an upgrade disc or is it a full
operating system, i.e. can I simply keep this disc with me instead
of carrying around my tiger discs as well? Well i spoke to the
Apple centre here in Cardiff, and they informed me that it was a
complete installation disc. So just in case anyone else was as
confused as I was, you can dispense with your old Tiger discs if
you wish when you purchase Leopard.
I would not get rid of them qite yet. If for some reason Leopard
isn't satisfactory and you want to get back to Tiger, you will want
to be able to install it.
2. Instead of simply running the installation from within Tiger,
can we simply hold down the "C" key on the keyboard when we insert
the disc and it will boot as normal into the Leopard installation?
3. John (the guy in the presentation), said that we could browse
other Macs/PCs if they were on our network, I am assuming that you
need the other user's password if you want to gain any further aces
than just what is publicly available.
Yes, you need the password to access the other computer completely.
This *could* be a problem for me, unless I can remember what my
password is for the Windows machine. *snile*
