10.3.7 to Tiger
Hello All-
I’m sure this has been posted but I can’t seem to locate the postings. I’m running 10.3.7 and want/need to make the jump to Tiger.
Can anyone tell me a proper workflow for going about this upgrade? Things to stay away from/beware of? What version of Tiger to end up with?
Thanks.

unplug all your firewire devices
and do an archive and clean install..

Hi,
Bens advice is good as far as it goes. But I would do more:
1. Do a complete boot partition backup to another drive or partition before you do any updates. This way you aren’t burning your bridges behind you.
2. Run Disk Warrior (better) or disk utility repair on the hard drive.
3. Repair permissions.
4. Do the archive and install installation.
5. Update to the latest version of Tiger using the “combo” updater (Macfixit has found that the combo updates are the most reliable.
6. Repair permissions.Following these guidelines will reduce your chances of problems and if you do have problems you will be able to continue working with your old configuration. The backup will only be a hassle if you are not already doing periodic backups, in which case its a good idea to start.
Best Wishes,
Mitch

I cannot enough recomend the “make a full system backup” with Carbon Copy Cloner sentence.
Tiger has been a rather disturbing experince for me, but I also changed a lot of my hardware at the same time, so I didn’t bother to. Panther was just soooo easy!
So the bad spell of systemirritations has been with me ever since…

If you do that, you’ll probably not need it -;)
