[DM-MUG] (edited) Upgrading from Jaguar to Tiger???

[Matt W]

You won't save money by stopping at Panther just to find that some  
app next year only runs on Tiger. I'd probably add, though, that it  
might make a lot of sense to have at least two clones of your old  
system before taking the plunge. One I'd keep as a backup, and the  
other I'd do an "Archive and Install" upgrade on. I wouldn't do a  
standard upgrade, I've seen too many weird problems with this. Even  
Archive and Install can leave an imprint on the system if you don't  
carefully check all your previous apps, and utilities for Tiger  
conformity.

I'd highly recommend starting over from a complete format of the  
drive and clean install of the system. It takes time to get the  
system looking like it did before, but it will net you the best  
performance from the install, no leftover crud in the system, and a  
chance to make sure all your apps are fully Tiger-compatible when you  
re-install them one-at-a-time, and then test each app carefully.

...Right. Yes, I fully realize that only about .001 percent of  
computer users actually do this, but then again, that's why I have a  
job.
