I purchased the new Mac Box Set with Leopard 10.5.6, iLife '09 and iWork '09.

I was 50/50 on which type of Leopard install I wanted to perform today.
Looks like the disc made the choice for me and performed, what I'm assuming, is the upgrade. All of my files, settings, etc. were intact after the reboot.

Any idea what may have happened?
 
Do you have a folder named previous system on your HD? If so, it was an Archive and Install.
 
Hmmm, maybe you skipped the step by accident? It should ask what type of install you want to do.

Were you looking to archive and install?

For being clumsy when it comes to clean installs and backing up, yes... I was leaning towards the archive and install route.

I really can't complain though. The new OS seems to run a bit faster and all of my stuff is exactly where it was with Tiger.

Just weird that I was never prompted to choose from the 3 install options.
