iLife 06 from Tiger installable in Leopard?

So, I'm really excited to get Leopard, but I got iLife 06, of which I use pretty much every application on a very regular basis with Tiger, installed when I bought my two Macs.

If i Buy leopard as a standalone, will I be able to install iLife 06 from the Tiger Disks onto it?

If not, then it is not worth updating too for me.

Thanks,

Brian

Ummmmmmm I am not sure, but I think, you would not be able to install iLife 6 of the Tiger disk.

Now its up to you if you update or not. But I look at it in the view point, that I dont like getting lefted behind, what with apple bring out new stsyems so often, app's change over night 4 months from now, everything will be diffrent, and the app's you use to be able to use,wont work.Or atlest in my experience thats what happens.

There are a lot of folk who would be running iLife '08 and Tiger so I would imagine the it would work the other way around ....

I did a quick Google and as usual there are mixed reports about whether or not you can do it against actual reports of people achieving it ... these 3 links all have people asking your very question:

OS X Leopard clean install or upgrade

iLife '06 is compatible with Leopard.

I did a clean install and later used the Migration Assistant to pull all of my apps, documents and settings over to Leopard. That included the iLife suite, which runs fine under Leopard.

I just did a format and install of Leopard on my MacBook and am actually installing iLife 06 now. Pop in Disk 1 and select Install Bundled Software. Click options to remove any unwanted components (like trial software and/or Garage Band to save space) then follow the prompts.

Hope that helps!

I use iLife06 as well, and it works fine!

Bump back to the top as this is a very useful thread (maybe should be sticky?)

I upgraded to Leopard last night, unfortunately had to go down the clean install route and so i am now without ilife06. So tonights task is to reinstall ilife06 on to Leopard.

Excellent info, and thanks so much for those of you who are more brave than I in trying this out.

I can also confirm (having just completed the install) that the ilife06 suite can indeed be installed and runs perfectly under Leopard
