Silver Byte Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 http://ptech.allthingsd.com/20090826/apple...leopards-spots/ Here's the interesting part: But here’s a tip: Apple concedes that the $29 Snow Leopard upgrade will work properly on these Tiger-equipped Macs, so you can save the extra $140. I think SL is similar to a self-contained OS in itself - so this should work. Anyone tried this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake58 Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I could install SL from a partition on an external drive onto another empty external usb drive without a problem. I had 10.5.8 on a drive in the mac, though, so it might be that SL checks any drive for the existence of 10.5. Some folks on the internets report, that it's possible even without any sign of previously installed Leopard.. why not just give it a try? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
