Upgrade from Snow Leopard
I have resisted upgrading from Snow Leopard until now because there were a few applications (mostly appleworks) are no longer supported since OS10.7 was released.
I have other computers that run on Yosemite and they run OK and I am worried that some newer / future software may no longer work with Snow Leopard at some point.
However, I still would like the ability to boot into Snow Leopard to run Appleworks, specifically for the database. I also have many Appleworks files that won't import into Pages. I also want to be able to play some older games.
How do I create a bootable Snow Leopard System File on an external disk? I have tried to install Snow Leopard from my Snow Leopard DVD onto a Firewire drive, but after the installation process is over, the computer hangs up on the restart.
I figure I must be doing something wrong. Any suggestions?
