Is it possible to upgrade to 10.6 directly, or must you first upgrade to 10.5? The person doesnt want to do a clean install, upgrading the OS is preferred. I've never done a 10.4 to 10.6 upgrade. -- Tank Nation 2012

The person doesnt want and doesnt have most of the software anymore... lets just say most were not obtain legally anyway. I'll just do 10.5, then 10.6 on it and image it before hand. -- Tank Nation 2012
