[DM-MUG] Upgrading from 10.4 Tiger to 10.5 Leopard best practices

[Victoria L. Herring]

My sister has a MBPro and is thinking of upgrading to Leopard.  She 
is really not into techie things [smart enough but maybe not patient 
enough] but thinks she can do it herself.  I told her I would send 
her a sort of 'best practices' summary and want to confirm my 
understanding is correct:  (1) backup [I downloaded SuperDuper so she 
can do that - the harddrive she has is a 1T so I might have her 
partition it and do a double clone just in case...(2) repair 
permissions...(3) restart...(4) archive and install [i.e., which 
option would be best?] then to bring it up to date = repair 
permissions again, run Software update [or get Combo download?]..

anything I'm forgetting...?  She could take it to a Genius Bar but if 
handled right I think she can do it herself and that might also help 
her to understand how easy, really, it is...

I think she has Entourage on her MBP but assume the OS upgrade won't 
affect things - or should I get a System Profile Report and review 
the apps etc. she has???  Thanks so much.
