MacVertigo Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 This is more of poll then anything. When the leo beta leaks.. and it will. Are you going to install it? Do you trust the beta as your main OS? I use my computer for work.. so I'm not sure I can take that risk. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/52961-leopard-beta/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ampidire Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 That's what external hard drives are for. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/52961-leopard-beta/#findComment-377792 Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollcage Posted June 4, 2007 Share Posted June 4, 2007 I'll probably install it, barring any major problems that come up. I would imagine that it will be pretty stable. I'll put it on an external drive first, and if it's stable enough I'll just use it as my main OS.

NeSuKuN Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Of course i'll install it at least on one machine, but its stabillity will be the factor to see if i install on the others Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/52961-leopard-beta/#findComment-378006 Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandmanfvrga Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 If I could dual boot on my ibook, I would try it. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/52961-leopard-beta/#findComment-378157 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mac-mini Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 cant you just partition the driver with iPartition and dual boot? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/52961-leopard-beta/#findComment-378167 Share on other sites More sharing options...

grzybu Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 probably I will try to install it on external hdd and if all my stuff works OK (cannot say that about 9a410 build) I will use it as a main OS Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/52961-leopard-beta/#findComment-378529 Share on other sites More sharing options...
apowerr Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Or you could just go buy a real mac. Some of us have real macs (albeit old) that dont support apples newer stuff. Such as my Mac Mini that doesnt support Core Image. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/52961-leopard-beta/#findComment-379792 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyman Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 It depends on the new features it will contain. If there is a new GUI, new file system, new Finder and other unawaited or expected features, then I will give it a try - but only on a seperate hard disk!

idividebyzero Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 If theres an x86 version then sure. I used Vista Beta 2, RC, and Press releases as my main OS until I got an official Business disc. I imagine OSX will be around the same quality. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/52961-leopard-beta/#findComment-381195 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro17 Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 If theres an x86 version then sure. Exactly. I don't own a real Mac, but I might buy one eventually (possibly a Mac Pro).

bonch Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Stability will be the main issue for me. I'm not interested in a flashy new interface; I just want a reasonably stable environment to develop on.

t3mur Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I'm planning to do a FULL CLEAN install on my 24" iMac.. anyone else on the same or similar page? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/52961-leopard-beta/#findComment-382248 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pentad Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 I'm planning to do a FULL CLEAN install on my 24" iMac.. anyone else on the same or similar page? Yep, I'm with you on this. I plan on backing up my MBP, doing a fresh clean install of the beta, and a fresh install of my apps. I figure a good clean install to get rid of all the unwanted files left over in my user folder. I'm also going to do a fresh install of FF and only add a few extensions at a time as I need them. Over the past year or so I've installed a bunch of FF Exs but I'm not sure now what I really use. Leopard is a great excuse to do a little house cleaning. :-) -P Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/52961-leopard-beta/#findComment-382330 Share on other sites More sharing options...

pallish Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Well... Personally, I think it's gonna take a bit longer seeing as only the developers present at WWDC gets the beta. But that's just a guess.

Ampidire Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Stability shouldn't be an issue with a build meant to reach an audience this large. The previous WWDC build is arguably the most stable of all the builds, so I wouldn't expect any less of this build. I'm super excited to try this out now, if all goes well on my external 60GB; I'll clone the Tiger install to that, then freshly install leopard on the internal drive, and import my settings from Tiger.

lieb39 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Yep, I'll be installing it on my Macbook C2D as the main O.S. I need to format badly, and I figure this is a good excuse. Dual booting vista / leopard.. shall be interesting. Cheers Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/52961-leopard-beta/#findComment-382734 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atomsk Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Yes, I plain on installing leopard as my main OS on my macbook pro. I don't think there will be a huge problem with stability but since I don't really use my laptop for anything crazy important.

nigelelliott394 Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 i wonder what the chances are of this working on an ibook g4.......first generation....although it has 1GB of ram. I'd assume functional but possibly too slow to tolerate. what does anyone else think?

Paranoid Marvin Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I've got a few free partitions on my external drive, so Leopard is definitely going on. If i can get it, that is....

mnit Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 I'm just waiting for a leak, I'm hoping (and I may be ignorant of existing leopard changes here) that it clears up a lot of the boobery surrounding AFP in tiger, given how the new finder deals with shares it certainly looks like they've put some thought into it.
