I have a mac mini that currently has osx 10.3. I want to upgrade it ultimately to Leopard (10.5). My problem is that the mini only has a CD drive and 10.4/10.5 seem to only come on DVDs. Is there a way I can create an install/upgrade disk on a flash drive to perform my install/upgrade? If there is a way to do it, would a 4GB flash drive work or would I need a larger flash drive?
Answer
My method was to use a freshly reformatted hard drive in an external USB enclosure, because I didn't have a large enough flash drive. It requires about 7.5GB (DVD-DL), so no, a 4GB won't work, but you can pick up an 8GB or use the external like I did. Follow the instructions at macinverse and it goes very quickly.
