Updating Muscovy to 10.7

[Evan Kinney]

I have a NetBoot image I created a while ago that will do an in-place upgrade of 10.5 to 10.6.8 through a bit of hackery and magic with OSUpgrade.pkg.

Is Muscovy running Server? It's fine if it's not; I have a NetBoot setup I can use at my house if need be. "bless" has a handy --netboot option that lets you point to any ABDP server and not rely on multicast discovery. That + --nextonly == unattended upgrade.

Also, I don't think I ever properly introduced myself: hi, I'm Evan.
