[QUOTE="Aptmunich, post: 631246, member: 3850"] That should work aces. Not trying to step on your toes, but that really sounds overly paranoid. If you do find that elusive piece of software that won't run under Leopard, you've got your backup to restore to and can always get the restore disks later. You have a perfectly good OS waiting to be loved - give it a chance first! SuperDuper is very reliable, so if things do go wrong you can always go back.. Here's how I would do it: 1. Connect the external drive 2. Run SuperDuper 3. Try booting off the external drive to make sure it all works as expected (restart and hold down "option" to boot off the external drive) 4. Install Leopard 5. Enjoy! ;) [/QUOTE]
