I read the three choices Brad said we in installing Tiger.
Sounds like the very best way is to erase the hard drive and then install Tiger on a brand new clean slate. Makes sense to me. Are there any pit falls in just cutting a DVD with everything you want to transfer (files, address book, music, pictures, applications, etc.) and then moving it to the new OS after it's installed. or is the "archive & install" and then dumping the archive best? |

I'm sorry, unless you've been experiencing some seriously weird problems with your system, or are an obsessive neat freak, archive and install is far and away the best/easiest way to go.
By all means back up your data before you update though. |

Edit: Yes, and for those rare cases, you still may want to have a backup around somewhere. |

What do I always use and always recommend to others? Archive and install.
Why? You don't have to go through the trouble of meticulously making and restoring backups of your files. If you are already backing up everything and don't mind the inconvenience, though, go for a clean erase and install. The quality of this board depends on the quality of the posts. The only way to guarantee thoughtful, informative discussion is to write thoughtful, informative posts. AppleNova is not a real-time chat forum. You have time to compose messages and edit them before and after posting. |
