[QUOTE="richrat, post: 710089, member: 56640"] [b]using external hd for leopard with pbk (ppc g4) as main startup[/b] hi, i personally do not like leopard all that much (lots of reasons) and, after installing it on my macbook, have not installed it on my powerbook ppc g4 (10.4.11, 1.2 GHz, 1.25 GB DDR SDRAM). but, there are a few apps i like that run ONLY on leopard. if i install leopard on an external hd and choose it as the startup disc and reboot, will i be able to use laptop as before and will i be able to run those leopard-only apps? will i experience any problems with laptop pre-leopard apps (i can't imagine why since pre-leopard apps run fine on leopard installed macbook)? should i put leopard apps on laptop or leopard hd? sorry for such a simple question(s) but i've never really done this before. (i am thinking of an OWC pocket type drive of 40 GB) according to leopard specs ([url]http://www.apple.com/macosx/techspecs/[/url]) i should be able to do this. thanks for any help rich ratzan [/QUOTE]
