I usually clone my startup partition on an external disk, then I format and install a brand new version. Then, I bring back the files in my account, paying attention not to overwrite any preference files for applications from Apple, because sometimes the format or the content of those preference files change from a major version to the next. Archive and install is supposed to leave your previous OS on your disk. You can have access to it but you can't boot from it anymore. I suppose it's also a good way to install a clean version of the new OS. You also have the ability to move your network settings and the user accounts, I think, in the new system. Usually, that should result in a pretty clean system, but it is possible that some preference files from the older system might conflict with what the newer versions of the applications provided by Apple might expect. It is possible that your kernel panics are caused by a faulty disk, since you did an archive and install, I assume that you didn't format your disk before installing the new version. Sometimes, the format might map out some sectors on the disk that have became bad. Yes, I still use my Newton.

Optical drive compatibility
Thanks to Malcolm and Laurent for the replies to my previous G3 processor query. I have another one concerning optical drives. I remember a lister had an excellent page on the subject of optical drives for powerbooks, but I've lost the link. I have upgraded my Titanium to a SD and I'd like to adapt the original Combo drive to the Lombard. Before I go and dismantle it, I thought I'd ask (as the Lombard drive is no longer in its best shape and I'd hate to taked it apart for nothing). I remember reading somewhere that that Combo drive would fit anything from the mac mini to any powerbook capable of having an optical drive.

From an end user standpoint, I really don't think it's going to be that much of an impact. My interaction with the computer is not at the chip level, but at the OS level. From what I saw during the Steve-note, that really isn't going to change much. The box he ran the demo on looked and ran like a PPC based Mac. As long as I get the benefits of OS X, and the machines are relatively fast, and stable, I'm all for it. Especially if it means that Apple can come up with machines that have better battery life, run cooler, and/or run more quietly. Developers are probably going to have more of a mixed reaction, but from the reading that I've been doing, it appears that for many of them, this will make porting applications to the Mac platform a lot easier. One of the game manufacturers said that much of the work in porting from the PC platform has to do with time it takes to convert between the endianness of the platforms. A good description of what this is can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness . Short term, I think that this will definitely affect hardware sales for PPC based systems that are in the pipeline, but I'm not sure how. One side of me says that they will be down because people will be waiting for the new Intel based Macs. The other side of me says that a lot of people will want one of the last PPC based machines.

Re: Apple to switch to Intel chips
If IBM did 'push' Apple out, they're added to a list of other notables including Cray, SGI, etc. To think, some of us originally thought that the reason we (Cray) had been pushed out was because they were struggling to make yield/clockrate on the PowerPC. Of course, the death of Apple's minivectors is a bummer for those of us with a preference towards vectors. :) They're going to have to have much better luck with the Cell/etc. to make everyone happy.

CD not recognized/mounted after 10.4
I upgraded my Pismo w/ Tiger and also also did a fresh install on a Lombard (via putting hd in my Pismo). After installtion, I tried to put a CD in the drive to install some other software and it won't recognize that there is a CD in the drive or mount the drive. Same thing happens on both the Pismo and Lombard. If I put the Tiger DVD in the drive and reboot, it will recognize that DVD when it first boots, but if I take it out, put a different CD in the drive, it won't recognize the CD. I can take the CD out, put the Tiger DVD back in the drive and it will no longer recognize it. I tried resetting the NVRAM, no luck. I have tried swapping CD/DVD drives between the two laptops. The one in my Pismo is just a normal CD/DVD-ROM, the one in the Lombard is a 2x DVD, according to the writing on the bottom. Neither one is a burner. Seems strange to me that the Lombard would appear to have a faster DVD-ROM in it than the Pismo? The drive in the Lombard makes loud crunching, clunking sounds when I insert a CD. Neither will ever mount or recognize in any way that there is a CD in the drive. I have to push the manual eject button to get the CD out and it is spinning at full speed when it ejects. I have tried different CDs and that doesn't seem to make a difference. This only happened when I upgraded to Tiger (on the Pismo), it worked fine on all of the 10.3.x versions. I have all the latest software updates and there aren't any firmware updates for either laptop. I even tried PatchBurn, but it won't work if you don't have a burner. Any ideas? Its getting really frustrating because I can't install any of my other software, which makes the laptop pretty much worthless other than email and browsing, which is not the primary purpose for these machines.
