Cloned my working drive of 10.7.2 a couple times, one copy when I switched to an SSD and have an older 80GB drive from an old PC that I am using as a test drive.
Been running the update different ways in order to build the courage up to install it on my working SSD... I am learning lots this way. I recommend this approach, especially to all of us that are rather new at this! I almost feel like I know what I am doing
If I run Combo Update I use Multibeast with these options:
System Utilities
AppleHDA rollback (no audio if I don't use it)
MacMini system Definition (I lose HD3000 video, and definition, if I don't reinstall the definition)
Repair permissions
Everything works this way but I have some quirkiness with some delays in boot steps that weren't there and got a weird screen with a moving mouse cursor but no other functionality. Gone after I reboot. This could be due to the age of the test drive as it seemed to get pretty hot.
If I use Software Update I check the following:
System Utilities
Apple HDA Rollback (no audio if I don't use it)
Repair permissions
With Software Update I don't have to recheck the System Definition MacMini for video (it kept it's definition) and I don't seem to get any of the quirkiness. This seems to be the most hitch-free way to do the update on my system.
If I can resist, I might run 10.7.3 on my mechanical hard drive for awhile for testing before I update my SSD boot drive to 10.7.3. I believe I will have to reinstall the Trim Enabler when I make that update.
UPDATE: Updated with Software Update on my Agility 3 SSD. Update retained my System Definition as MacMini so HD3000 is working, and perhaps improved. I don't seem to be getting artifacts...time will tell.
Ran Multibeast with the following:
System Utilities
AppleHDA Rollback
Trim Support
USB 3.0
On reboot all is well.
