hey all!

so, besides starting from scratch, is there anyway to downgrade back to 10.2.3 from 10.2.4?

i ask, because it seems like the upgrade broke some software i was using (pixela's PixeDV, got it with ADS Instant DVD for Mac box), and seeing as how this software isn't even being sold by itself yet, i don't know how long it will be until pixela puts out a patch.

thanks,

Basically, if you can't figure out how to downgrade without asking here, the answer is no. Even if you did know how, it's still pretty much a 50/50 proposition. That's why the first partition on my hard drive is reserved for Mac OS X *only*. If something gets f'd up, I can just erase one partition and I'm only out an hour or so.

hey, i was just wondering...so if i can't figure out how to change a tire, without asking someone who works on cars, then i guess i'm stuck with a flat? it doesn't hurt to ask, you know. maybe someone knows something i don't.

and i do have X on it's own partition.

He meant that it's so hard to do that if you don't alreay know how, you'd probably save a lot of time just doing it the old-fashioned way.

I personally wouldn't bother trying to downgrade. Just bite the bullet and reinstall. Now that there's an "archive and install" option, it's not so bad.

true...i was planning to do reinstall anyway, just was wondering, that's all.

yeah, archive and install is a damn good feature.

If you could back up a image of the system, would that work?

I'm pretty sure the only way is to "Archive and Install," and then update to 10.2.3.
