Good point David but I think if I like Leopard, I will be leaving my
Tiger disc at home, and just keeping the Leopard discs with me at
University.
The guided tour seemed to have a lot that if accessible to us could
be very useful.
Best Wishes

computer. you may need stuff off them like the user guide for your
computer. You may decide you hate leopard and want to go back.
using the c key is the same as clicking install macosx when you put
in the
cd but sure, you can do that if you like.

Subject: Leopard CD is a disc all of its own
Hi folks,
I have just finished listening to the guided tour of Leopard. A
number of things confused me.
1. Is the Leopard disc simply an upgrade disc or is it a full
operating system, i.e. can I simply keep this disc with me instead of
carrying around my tiger discs as well? Well i spoke to the Apple
centre here in Cardiff, and they informed me that it was a complete
installation disc. So just in case anyone else was as confused as I
was, you can dispense with your old Tiger discs if you wish when you
purchase Leopard.
2. Instead of simply running the installation from within Tiger, can
we simply hold down the "C" key on the keyboard when we insert the
disc and it will boot as normal into the Leopard installation?
3. John (the guy in the presentation), said that we could browse
other Macs/PCs if they were on our network, I am assuming that you
need the other user's password if you want to gain any further aces
than just what is publicly available
Thanks
Take care all
James
