So you mean that when it's released in the fall, the installation won't have the option to archive and install?
It actually doesn't matter if you use Time Machine backups. Just erase and install and then restore from backup.
So you're saying we will not have the options to either Erase and Install, or to Archive and Install?
Leopard 10.5.0 was released at build 581.
If Apple keeps up progress on SL at an average rate of about one build a day, it looks like the build number on RTM likely will be 440-480. This gives Apple 2-4 weeks time to manufacture the disks in RTM phase before releasing Snow Leopard in September.
No new interface by then. SL has a code freeze-- no new features. Just performance improvements and tweaks.

You will have either option. It should have all the options that you see in retail disk. There's no reason not to expect all of them.
My point was that, even if we can't upgrade to final release. It shouldn't be a concern.
I'm very, very happy to see that this latest update corrected the problem in which my computer would see my AirPort Extreme's connection and connect to it, but state that it had "No Internet Connection" even though it very well did have Internet access.
I was surprised to see it happen with an AirPort router, but I'm glad to see it gone.

Here is hoping that my iMac 7,1 will finally run in 64bit.
edit: No Joy.
Try holding "6" and "4" when you boot.

Key Build 1 was the finalized API seed (Core Component Update) 10a354/355.
Key Build 2 was the WWDC Final DP Copy (Feature Complete).
10a380
So far they do align up.
The final candidate seeding is supposed to start between late July and early August.
It is interesting to see why the QTX icon isn't in yet and no "Assign to Space 1" on the right click Dock Menu. This tells me, we still haven't reach the Key Build 3 yet.
What are you talking about? There will be Archive and Install. Apple is targeting 10.6 to be used to upgrade 10.5 systems, meaning without erasing stuff. That's the whole point.
This may not work, I did that on previous seed, it didn't work. So i did this instead.
Go to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/, open up your com.apple.Boot.plist
Code:
<key>Kernel</key>
<string>mach_kernel</string>
<key>Kernel Flags</key>
<string>[B]arch=x86_64[/B]</string>He's referring to those of us using the Developer Preview. Leopard users will be able to upgrade fine.
Ah. Apple may lock the installer down to 10.5 specifically. Hmm, that would be stupid to do but I still don't see the problem if using Time Machine. Erase and Install then restore from backup shouldn't be any different from Archive and Install.
I'm talking about the Developer Preview. Leopard users can of course Archive and Install.
Yeah.. it actually looks kinda cheap IMO. I daresay it almost looks like StarDock or RocketLauncher running in Windows
