[Casper] Upgrading from Tiger to Leopard

[Nichols, Jared]

One thing to consider is that Leopard is no longer based on netinfo.  Pre-leopard was nice using NetInfo Manager for arranging tasks like the movement of /users to a different drive/partition.  This would all have to be done with dscl now... On the upshot, it's all scriptable...

I was wondering how you all have done migrations from Tiger to Leopard.

We have an Active Directory setup where the users home directories are local
to the machine (our faculty often have 10GB+ of data, and some have
laptops).

We were contemplating doing separate user and OS partitions at the same time
to make any future OS upgrades less painful, without having to worry about
user data.

Thanks,
