newbmac Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Hope this is the correct forum, install, or post-install discussion could be correct. Given that version upgrades frequently break an install, what strategies are people using to mitigate this fact? For example, are you guys placing your USER's HOME folder on a separate non-OS drive? This way you can just erase the OS drive and reinstall from scratch in case the system tanks after a new 10.5.x upgrade. Or, is it just taking backups using time machine or carbon copy cloner? Just looking to learn from others experiences and strategies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superhai Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Almost everything can be fixed by using the terminal from the install dvd. But it is slow, instead I keep two installs of osx, so I can boot into it (a small one) when the other is not working, so fix the main one. But that is also due that i experiment alot and do some kext programming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbmac Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 That's a very interesting strategy, an emergency backup second Leopard install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbmac Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 Hmm, no other responses? Perhaps I think I will post this in the post-installation forum as I suspect this is all newbs here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
