My guess is that 10.4 is more forgiving of things not being done by the book, although it is theoretically possible I'm touching bugs in the MacOS itself.
So I think I'll need to actually have multiple MacOS versions installed, to test on all of them! This is quite a requirement, but necessary, unfortunately.
I'm thinking of putting different versions of MacOSX on an external hard disk, with a few partitions to the disk.
Does anyone have experience doing this? Does this sound like a good or bad idea?
I do this all the time. Usually with one data volume on which I put my deployed applications with symbols for debugging, then several boot volumes with a different OS version on each.
To make things easier you can even put your user home directory on the common data volume, then use NetInfo Manager to point the user account in each OS to the same user home directory. That way you get the same desktop, preferences, etc. when you reboot.
