Quick pre - Tiger install quessys

[john_satc]

Well fingers crossed I get my copy of Tiger tomorrow, there are a couple of questions I have..

1) I want to save as much hard drive space as possible. So i will only instsall the Enlglish language and drivers for the printers I have. However, what if say, in 3months time i get a new printer, how can I get the driver???

2) Is there anyway to test my back ups that they are correctly copied. I have copied my 'Saved messages" folder from Mail onto my iPod as part of my back up. How can I make sure that it has copied properly with all my messages? I worry that it hasnt copied correctly and when I open it through the iPod it just jumps to the version on my iBooks hard drive (if this doesn't make sense, please ingnore it 😱 )

Thanks!

You can use Pacifist to install the appropriate package from the computer's restore disks.

Aside from spot-checking transferred messages, I don't think so.
