I was wondering, as I'm sure everyone's either preordered or is going
to pre-order the next big cat, how easy it will be to install with no
sighted assistance. would someone maybe be so kind to possibly write a
guide. I want to be able to do this but I'm a little apprhensive.
obviously
when you boot up from the dvd by holding down c at startup as the mac
boots, you will hear the drive spin. When it stops spinning press
command key f5 and voiceover willc ome up and the first screen, I
guess, will b, language chooser

Hey Marie,
Well I guess not many people can say for sure right now what the
instalation process will be like in detail, seeing as the only people
who will have seen it firsthand so far are beta testers and people who
grabbed it off torrent sites, and neither will talk about it
publically in case
You don't need a guide at all. In fact all you need to do is insert
the DVD and either restart the machine and hold down the letter c
until you hear the DVD begin being accessed by the Mac, insert the
DVD, open System Preferences, select startup disk, and choose the Snow
Leopard DVD,
thanks for that scott. stupid question maybe, but I'm guessing you put
the disc in then shut down then turn on with the disc in the drive,
while holding down the c key yes? how much room we talking, I got over
a hundred gig here as my music stuff is on an external.
:) thanks for any
You can start the upgrade the way you just said yep. The other option
is to put the disc in, it'll appear in the finder, and there's a file
you can launch on there that'll be called something really obvious
like install snow leopard that will restart and boot from cd for
you. Whichever works
First yes, if you reboot the machine, you of course will need to
insert the DVD prior to booting. In fact in order for the Mac to boot
off the DVD it needs to be in there in advance for you to hold down
the c key or set it as the boot disk. As far as space required, I am
not sure of the
One of Apple's marketing claims is the new OS is actually smaller than
the old one, so I'd guess the usual 8GB or so. As with previous
upgrades, I suspect you can also just put the DVD in and then open the
Installer app which will do little more than change the startup device
and reboot your
I'd agree that a clean install is best, but some folks may not have
the facilities to do this. I mean this in that to do this right, I'd
use an external drive and clone the existing scenarioMacintosh Hd, do
a fresh install, and then migrate my stuff over. Now you of course
could migrate
