Friends, I have belonged to a writers group for years. Before installing Leopard, I read their comments. One member passed along a thread on the Apple discussions site. It not only agrees with the advice from fatalerror that archive and install is the right way to go, but it contains other important information. In any event, thought I'd pass it on FYI. The first part is pretty much the same, but read to the bottom of the thread for the good stuff. (Looks like Apple may have a huge problem about installing Leopard it needs to solve. Think I'll wait for a while :-)
