Upgrading 10.1.5 to 10.2 |

I'm relatively new to this forum and would like to say hello to everyone. Presently I am running 10.1.5 on a Mac 9500 with good results. I want to upgrade to 10.2 and would like to know if I need to start-up with the installer disk 1 or if I can just upgrade while in 10.1.5. My OSX system is on a separate 36 gig internal drive. SCSI 0, which is partitioned; 6 gigs for OSX; and I have OS 9.1 which I've tried to upgrade to 9.2 with an error, but still works fine on the other partition which I have been using for classic. I have another internal drive, SCSI 1 which is an 18 gig drive. I use that for my default start-up drive with system 9.1. If I install 10.2, would I need to reinstall my printer, video, etc. drivers? Thanks for your help. Keith |

I've successfully installed 10.2.1, in fact I'm using it now. I used XPostFacto to start-up with Disk 1, I check the upgrade button, took over 2 hours to install, then it requested a restart, no problem. After restart, OSX requested Disk 2, no problem. Then I ran the 10.2.1 updater, no problem. All my previous settings were copied into the new system and the old OS 10.1.5 is gone. Give my thanks to the OSXguru here and everyone else who posts as well. Keith |

PS: if 10.2.2 supports and you use Journaling File System, that's more room needed. jaguar takes over 3GB and then there are temp files and installs for later, plus things stay more 'optimized' with 50% free. |

I would want more than 6GB for jaguar. You don't actually need to partition or limit your volume to 8GB when using SCSI, 8GB is/was a bug in older ATA specifications. You should be able to update your 9.2 system while in OS X if you want, to use 9.2.2 for Classic (tho Classic is hard-wired to only 128MB RAM for all Classic use, really lame). I'd play it safe, keep 10.1.5 on one drive, or at least one volume, and 10.2 on the other drive - good for emergencies and to repair the other. You might want to wait at this point expecting 10.2.2 soon and give others a couple days to get ready and kick the tires. Jaguar has a lot of drivers included and 10.2.2 would have the most current, but yes, you need to reinstall if you do the clean install which seems to work better (and avoid having to do it all over again if it doesn't). Archived install works but slower. If you are on a Miles2 it should go fast, if native SCSI/UltraSCSI of course slower. I would go so far as to reinitialize with any OS upgrade, going all the way back to 6.07. Gregory |

If you run it from within 10.1.5, it will reboot you anyway. Not sure about the drivers, sorry. I guess it depends what they are. For example, ATI video drivers are installed by Apple so they would overwrite anything you may have installed. |
