Leopard installation (updated)

Initial install notes:

- Quite a few scary moments upon each bootup

kernel panic

- Guess I should have installed fresh batteries

- The startup movie did not play on any of the three macs I’ve installed Leopard on.  if this happens to you, you can view manually by launching these two files:

/System/Library/CoreServices/Setup Assistant.app/Contents/Resources/TransitionSection.bundle/Contents/Resources/intro.mov

/System/Library/CoreServices/Setup Assistant.app/Contents/Resources/TransitionSection.bundle/Contents/Resources/intro-sound.mp3


- Something’s up with iDisk sync:

  • Machine 1 presented me with a “Previous iDisk.dmg” on my desktop and rebuilt an entirely new local copy. 
  • Machine 2 showed no iDisk and eventually brought it back about an hour after install. 
  • Machine 3 seemed to just bring the iDisk over perfectly.

- .Mac sync is also acting screwy.  I keep seeing the conflict resolver no matter how I many times I say merge or replace.

- Overall compatibility seems excellent.

- The translucent menu bar isn’t as bad as I thought, but after changing it the included “Grass Blades” desktop picture, I immediately knew why Apple chose a dark color for the default.

- I like the upgrade overall, but everything seems a bit slower.  This is contrary to every review I’ve read.
