<>Start on the right foot with Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger!
Thousands of Mac users upgraded to Panther successfully with Joe Kissell's previous best-selling ebook, Take Control of Upgrading to Panther, and Joe is back with detailed new advice for upgrading to Tiger.

Also included are instructions if you're upgrading from Mac OS 9. Worried that something might go wrong? Joe provides practical troubleshooting tips for the most common problems, step-by-step instructions on how to downgrade to your previous system if necessary, and in-depth discussions of what exactly each installation option does (and does not do).
