Just thought i would ask this to see if maybe i am missing something. I am running the latest Leo4All version. I upgraded by patching the iso and reinstalling the system. Is everybody doing the same or is there a way to patch the system w/out reinstalling. I get the system configured the way I want it and then a new version is released. (Which is great - dont get me wrong) I know it will happen again soon as 10.5.3 is coming any day now. Is anyone reinstalling from a method of an archive & install or using the tranfers wizard built into os x to keep the files progs and settings? Upgrading the system would be nice, and i do understand we're fortunate to have what we have now. Any advice is appreciated

As far as I know, the ppf-Updates for the images are only compatibility-Updates. So if your system's working fine, you don't need the newest version of your image. As regards Apple System-Updates, there are guys like eddie, who release a Hack-Upgrade, which you can try on a test system (split your partition and clone it) and use it if it works on your main-system.

Tough to do at times though as it's nice to have the most up to date version. I have actually cloned my install like you suggested. I twould be nice though to be able to transfer settings, apps etc when upgrading.

No problem. Clone your hole partition, install the new Leopard on a seperate partition and at the first start select "Import data from another Device on this Mac". Select your cloned partition, check "Applications", "Personal Files" and so on. It will take a while, but it'll import your hole stuff to your new system. After that you can remove your "old" partition and add the free space to your new partition.
