Good evening,
Wow, I really apologize for using the term stupid in reference to the Mac
registration screens, apparently there is a strong feeling on this list that
they are great. I just don't like to give away personal information when it
isn't necessary and since this is a second hand out of warranty MacBook I
really didn't see the point.

they are not stupid screens and as you have seen, it is possible but it
can cause issues. It is painless to register, you never hear from them
unless you want to , you can use the registration site wide and hey, it's
fun!

Good evening David,
I want to skip any stupid screens asking me to register with Apple,
address, phone, etc. Perhaps it isn't possible.
Thanks,
Everett

If you choose upgrade, you won't have to do any setup. I don't know
why you would want to skip the setup otherwise because you need to set
up your account and such so that you can log in and perform
administrative tasks.
What is your goal here?

Good evening,
* Disclaimer, I have never used a Mac *
I have a MacBook here that is about a year and a half old Core Duo
2.0ghz. I have the Leopard install CD and would like to completely
reload the operating system.
A few questions:
1. Is there a partition manager on the Leopard CD, or in OS X itself?
2. Once the CD has finished running is there a way to get past all of
the registration screens without completing them?
3. Is there an Installing Leopard with Voiceover tutorial somewhere?
4. Is there a quick reference to get me started with Voiceover and OS
X? Not looking for a long guide here, just a couple of pages to give me
the basics.
I'm sure there will be many more questions to follow.
Thanks in advance,
Everett
