Upgrade instead of clean install?

[Mightee]

I just build my Lion Hackintosh, so I have very little if any cruft in my system. Has anyone tried a straight upgrade with the ML installer? Would I theoretically be able to do that and not have to run MultiBeast afterward? Or if I ran MultiBeast, would I choose the same options I had previously? I'm too antsy to wait for Tony's guide.

I'm using a GA-Z77-DS3H with an SSD for boot/apps, 1TB drive for "Home" and a Radeon HD 6870.

You need Multibeast to reenable Audio drivers. They always get overwritten during an upgrade, especially when it's a major "update" like mountain lion. Let's just wait a little bit and prepare for the great guide

I was wondering the same thing. everyone seems to be doing a clean install. can you not just upgrade?

Have the same question here. Just don't want to re-install all my apps again after the update.

Of course you can upgrade.

Here's ANOTHER silly question: If things go awry, how bad it is it to "restore from backup" via Time Machine on my Hack? Everything on the backup is the Unibeast-installed, MultiBeast-tweaked version of Lion I'm running now.

I'm so full of nooby questions today...

Super Duper and Carbon Cloner* are excellent apps for that.

I'll probably pick up Carbon Cloner if Time Machine is a bad idea.

I just bought it and and installed. It rebooted and nothing happened. Still 10.7.4

Did you just run the installer or did you create a UniBeast disk?

My assumption (and really, I'm guessing here) would be that if you have two OS X installers in your Applications folder (your old Lion one and your new Mountain Lion installer), UniBeast may have simply chosen the Lion version to make its disk.
