Friends,
I have purchased a new MacBook Pro and it came pre-installed with Tiger and the Leopard DVD in the box.
When upgrading to Leopard should I simply perform the 'upgrade', or should I select the 'Erase and Install' option? Does it make an difference to the computer?
Also, if I do select the 'Erase and Install', will it remove all the bundled programs that were installed like IPhoto and IDVD etc? If so, do I just re-install them from the Tiger disks after I have installed Leopard (if I go down the 'Erase and Install' option)? and then run the 'additional installs' that are on the leopard disk?
And should I run disk utility from the installation disk or repair permissions prior to installing Leopard?
Also, I understand that the maitenance runs performed by the computer occur between 0300 and 0500 for the daiy, weekly and monthly tasks?
Since I don't have the computer on during these times, should I be manually running these tasks?
Cheers,
