Leopard ...

[Mr_P]

can always disk image it back to tiger...

ive had some BAD issues running an update on a test system - with just the OS - not even tested catalyst yet. Id reccomend a clean new install if anyone is going to update an old system...

beware

Yeah Clean install it's better the update from tiger . I confirm , and I can tell you that if you start from clean install things are not that bad .

I dont think i ever tried upgrading tiger when testing leopard- the developer builds didnt allow this-

But - the system migration assistant seemed to do most of the right things... in preserving settings and such.

Catalyst does work in leopard - and i havent seen any bugs yet.
I have no idea about performance of drivers, etc.

it is unlikely that any new macs will downgrade to tiger.
typically apple prevents this.

new macbook pros - have an exclusive version of the operating system for now- that only works on them...

This scares me. Apple has always tried really hard to release "working" items. The fact that there is a different version for the Macbook Pro indicates to me that there are hardware and driver conflicts with Leo.

I will be interested in seeing feedback from Cat users to see if Leo is causing capture card, video card, or scsi hangups.

It would be nice if Apple just released a scaled down version (sort of like XPe) which gets rid of the crap we don't need.

My suggestion for anyone listening is to create a hard disk with just Catalyst installed on top of Tiger. Then if you decide to use Leo you can have it on a separate partition that doesn't compromise your shows.

I do this anyway since I use my Cat machines as render clusters in post anyway.
