has anyone done an upgrade install and if so, how much space does it need?

I don't remember how much it needed exactly but I only had 4GB free when I installed it so 4GB or more is enough for an upgrade.

By the way, if you are having trouble with printing, such as not being able to add a printer (getting the dreaded "server-error-service-unavailable" error), it may be that cupsd (the printing daemon) isn't starting. I have made a small shell script that you can simply double click on to restart it. It will ask you if you are sure you want to run it, then ask for your password (since this action requires Administrator privileges). If anyone has run into this problem and wants the script, I can post it. Here is the code if you want to compile it yourself:

do shell script "sudo /System/Library/StartupItems/PrintingServices/PrintingServices start" with administrator privileges

I hope this helps someone :) This error can be a royal pain in the butt.

edit: by the way, you can get it to automatically enter your password by adding

password "yourpassword"

before "with administrator privileges". I didn't do this in my compiles script though, for security reasons.

I'm surprised how ****ed you guys are over a damn extra security measure. That's really sad that you won't take the extra half-a-second to click "Download". I know it can get annoying, but switching to a slower browser or even reinstalling an inferior OS just to get rid of it? That's really, really weird.

Why you going so early? The Apple store is only about 15 minutes away from my school in some mall in Jersey. Anyone been to these "premieres"? What's it like?
