Quoting John H. Davis glenwoodcompu...@verizon.net:


   I heard 10.5 no longer supports iphoto, anyone see other problem spots?


I have X.5.8 on my Mini and it came with iPhoto. I think it was X.5.4  
out of the box. Only used it once, but it seems like it worked okay.

[CGUYS] Upgrade Plan was Mac OS upgrade

2009-12-23 Thread John H. Davis
Took a hosing on the two copies of 10.4 full I bought off ebay.   (As 
predicted by Roger)


Got my money back though, only cost was the aggravation + $2.07 return 
shipping.


Bought a legal copy of 10.56 from Apple Phone Sales (Thanks for the tip, 
Betty) and will do a Clean install on a new hard drive.


MY PLAN

Install the New Drive in My G5 PM 1.8 dual /512MB

partition the 320 GB Sata into two large and 1- 50 GB partition.

COPY my Photos, Docs, Email Addys and Bkmks etc. to the small Partition.

Clean Install 10.56 on the 1st large partition, and update to 10.58.

Install Firefox, NeoOffice, Toast, PS Elements 3.0 (?), camera, scanner 
 printer drvrs.


Copy my old 10.39 OS to the 2nd. large partition.

Remove the 5 yr. old drive and store it for back up.

Hopefully if this all goes well, I'll be able to dual boot between 10.39 
and 10.58 until I have full functionality on Leopard.


   I heard 10.5 no longer supports iphoto, anyone see other problem spots?

   Suggestions / Comments welcome.

TIA,
John
