Can an 'Upgrade' disk be converted to a 'Full Install' Disk?
Posted: August 5th, 2008, 4:27 pm
I have only used OS 9 for years on my PowerBook 3400 then I finally bought a couple of 'parts' Pismos in January and got one working.
I bought OS X 10.3 from a guy on eBay advertised as 'full retail version'. Well, it was but it was an UPGRADE!
So I installed 10.0. 10.3 won't upgrade from 10.0, so I installed my 10.1 upgrade so I could install 10.3 then download about 26 updates to get my old Pismo working. It took HOURS!
Is there any way to convert my 10.3 upgrade disk to a full install? Is there any way I can burn a new 10.3 disk with all the updates included? My hard drive went out so I will be reinstalling and would rather it not take three to four hours!
In Windows XP burning a new disk including the latest updates and pre-setting setup options is called 'slip streaming' and it usually works.
From the PC, for a couple more days :^(
