[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 956354, member: 24160"] Rather than that, I would suggest you create a bootable backup with SuperDuper! on the external and then proceed with the upgrade on the internal. You'll spend 2 hours this way, 1 for the backup and 1 for the upgrade. The vast majority have had no issues with it. Doing a clean install on a bootable external and re-installing all your apps and data, you've got a day or two worth of work ahead. I'd take the 2 hours in the hopes of saving myself the 2 days. If you do have problems, your current system is still bootable and takes only 1 more hour to restore back to the internal. I took the route I'm suggesting. Booted up to a kernel panic and was unable to get into 10.6 Booted up to the external, checked the log, found the offending app, removed it's kext and was up in SL in another 10 minutes or so.
