Hi Muggers
Can anyone tell me which is the best way to upgrade to tiger. Im
using a G5 dual 2ghz machine with 10.3.8. I checked the apple
website and they dont actually say which of the three ways works
the best. Does it matter?
I dont want to lose all my info in mail, internet and cable
connection so am not into a complete install. Im wondering whether
to do a 'simple upgrade' or an 'archive and install'. I assume
after the install I run the 10.4.2 updater?
Hi Chris,
Archive & Install is the safest way to go.
I always repair permissions before & after any upgrades. I would
update to 10.3.9 first also, but that is just my way.

Be sure to select the "Preserve User and Network Settings" option to
preserve your current Users folder and related network configuration.
This Site explains in detail Archive & Install.
