I have a Mac Pro (2007 version) with 4gigs of ram and three hard drives. I have 10.4.11 installed now, but I am going to try to switch to 10.5 (the install disk is just plain 10.5). I plan on leaving the Tiger install and put Leopard on a different drive and then have the other drive for Time Machine. I'd like to leave the 10.4 install alone for the time being.
I am thinking of doing a doing a "fresh" install on a reformatted drive and then using Migration Assistant to move files over from the 10.4 disk to the new 10.5 install on the separate disk. A few questions:
Is there any reason that won't work?
Should I run the stand-alone 10.5.3 updater before or after running Migration Assistant?
I have a Logitech MX Laser wireless mouse I love. I have read that there is a problem with Leopard and the Application Enhancer that the Logitech mouse software uses - is that still the case, and if so, what steps can I take to avoid problems (please don't suggest a different mouse - I like this one too much to give it up)?
Are there other issues I should watch out for?
Thanks.
