Hello ,
Lion is coming soon and, most of us are looking forward to it.
I had just some thoughts about a clean install of lion , started from my snow
leopard install on my macbook.
After buying the installer from the macstore and the start of the install, I
should chose to do a install with or without erasing me disc.
I think, It seems the safest and cleanest way to erase the whole disc and
install lion on a blank disc.
(I have a working time-machine backup).
But, here are my questions after the blank install:
1. Is it necessary to have all install-packages from the software I would like
to have on my lion (software from apple or not)?
Or can I just copy the program-packages from the programs-folder in my
time-machine?
2. about compatibility: Should all programs that are no on my macbook work on
lion?
3. If I chose to erase my disc before install, I will lose bookmarks,
addressbook-contents and soma other contents and I don't know how to get it
back without to much tricks.
Perhaps, for a first trial , it should be better not to remove my hd?
This are my thoughts,
Any comments, suggestions or perhaps more questions, are very welcome.
best regards,
William Windels
