    When I got my new MBP with Leopard last May I was initially disappointed with iMovie 08, so I replaced it with the free download of iMovie HD from the apple website (more info here).

    However, now I changed my mind and I want to put iMovie 08 back. Would I need to do a complete Leopard re-install or can I just use my discs to selectively install iMovie 08? Any help greatly appreciated!

    Thanks,

    Hooly.

    EDIT: Never mind, it was easy to do just using the install discs.

    You can actually keep both I believe. They are essentially two different applications.

    Yeah, you can keep both of them, as they will show up as 2 different applications on Mac OS X.

    If you put the Leopard disc in, I think iLife is going to be under the Bundled Software. You should be able to choose iMovie 08 from there and do the install for it. As it is, I am running both of them on this machine with no problems
