    Just a quick inquiry about switching to leopard...
    i just finished the install on my SR MBP and im lovin it!
    i bought an external drive and made a bootable image of my tiger installation. I copied almost all of my files and im curious if i missed anything. i got all my docs, music, vids, apps, mailboxes, keychain, and everything i could think of off the top of my head. Also once i've transferred everything to the leopard install, is there any point to keeping the tiger image? i need the space on the external hdd to use with time machine.......other than that what should i do next?

    any suggestions would be great thanks in advance!

    I kept my old HD for about a week, just in case I needed to use it for some reason. However, I did a restore using Disk Utility as opposed to manually copying everything over, so I never had to go back to my former HD. So I suppose you should keep your Tiger install for about a week or two, and after you are sure you are missing nothing, turn it into a time machine backup.
