  Hints/Tips on Mac re-build?

  Posted by Jonathan Ramsey on January 5, 2009 at 2:53 pm

  Hey folks,

  I’ve been piecing together the nuts and bolts of upgrading my G5 on 10.4.x to Leopard from various posts. However, I need to do a clean install (wipe drive) then a fresh build and I’ve never done that before.

  1. Can anyone point me in the direction(s) of hints and tips or even a walk-through on doing this and what pitfalls to avoid? I’m particularly interested in any ways to save basic settings or migrate them over so I’m not configuring every nook and cranny on that from scratch (i.e., passwords, mail, mobileMe, etc.).

  2. Further, on this machine I run FCP2 with a Blackmagic Designs Decklink Extreme card plus have an ATTO card for a RAID tower from now-gone HUGE Systems. I’m curious if anyone can direct me to how to handle these specialized (but older) video hardware topics (read: how best to get these working with Leopard).

  SUPER BIG THANK YOU!

  Sincerely,
  Mac Rebuild Virgin in Colorado
