Q: G5 PPC runing 10.4.11 - need to move to 10.5.8 - guidelines? Tips?
I have a G5 PPC desktop - running 10.4.11
I need to move to at least 10.5.8 to get support for a new printer {and it is time to start the progression to newer O/S anyway}
I have the Black 10.5.6 Install DVD
I have a Firewire external hard drive, Mac OS Extended {journaled} 1T - - That I have used CCC to back up my system.
Question 1 - can I install 10.5.6 on my external hard drive - in order to make it a boot drive? Or does it still need to be partitioned as in 10.4?
Question 2 - is there anything other than having a complete system backup - that I need to do before attempting to update my desk top system?
Question 3 - I have 7.25 GB available on my internal hard drive is that enough space to load 10.5.6
Just looking before I leap..
thanks,
Carl
Mac OS X (10.4.11)
