[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1144735, member: 24098"] There is no direct upgrade path from 10.4 to 10.6. You have to do a clean install. What I would recommend is using SuperDuper to backup to an external drive or your secondary drive. Once that's done, boot from the 10.6 disc, use Disk Utility to erase your system disk and then do the 10.6 install. You will be prompted during the initial boot to transfer files from 'another Mac'. Opt to do so and then point the Migration Assistant to your backup drive. All of your apps, settings and documents should get pulled right in. [/QUOTE]
