Well, when you launch the installer, there is now a new option if the installer discovers that there is already an OS X install. This option backup the current system before installing the new one. If you select this option, you can even tell the installer to retain network settings from your current one and other settings too. I haven't tried it, so I can't really comment on it. -Laurent. -- ============================================================================ Laurent Daudelin AIM/RV: LaurentDaudelin <http://nemesys.dyndns.org> Logiciels Nemesys Software mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] CLM /C-L-M/: [Sun: `Career Limiting Move'] 1. n.
