hi, i was just wondering, is there any diff btw the utd dvd leopard disc compared to the full retail version? for instance can i do a full clean install with the utd disc? thanks in advance

If it's anything like Jaguar, Panther and Tiger, the Leopard up-to-date disc will require a valid installation of the previous system, (in this case, Tiger) before it'll run. So yes, there is a difference...

I used Disk Utility to merge my two partitions back into one so that I could use Boot Camp without any hacks. I was able to successfully install 10.5 using my UTD disc so I guess the poster above is incorrect.

hmm im confused now lol

The UTD disc checks for an installation of 10.4 before continuing. After that, its the same thing.

That's weird because I lost all data when repartitioning my drive and it installed without any issues. Maybe it looks at the MBR or something?

It did the check before you did that.

Yeah that makes sense.
