Hello everyone, just as we are getting ready to enjoy our Thanksgiving =
Break, I had this problem with a new Apple MacBook (SantaRosa chip) that =
was delivered to our school: We are now receiving new MacBooks that come =
with Leopard pre installed. These units do not see out network netboot =
and will not load Tiger. I spent this morning at the Apple store after =
being told by Apple Tech Support that we need a non-machine specific Tiger =
to get this new MacBook to image on our network. In fact, Apple recalled =
all versions of Tiger, you cannot purchase it anymore. Moreover, I was =
told that the chipset is so different on the new MacBooks, that it is not =
backwards caompatible.
If you go to Mac Formum, you will see pages of software that Leopard is =
not compatible with including our email system, our student information =
system, Adobe CS3, FileMaker Pro and others. I can't imagine that our =
educaional software will work either. Do you know of any way to get this =
machine to accept our image? This will become a huge problem for us and =
for any school using Apples e a huge problem for us and for any school =
using Apples. I am hoping that all of the tech support people and Apple =
Geniuses are wrong and that there is a fix that will allow me to image =
this MacBook with my Tiger image.
If you know of anything, please email me.
