I just got leopard and am will shortly be installing it and from what I've read and heard, an erase and install is the best way to go.

Anyway...I've done a back up of all my most important files, but was wondering what files will be deleted?

I have all the disks to reinstall applications and music, but there are a couple of passwords which I don't want to lose, my safari bookmarks and my pop mail account's history.

Any suggestions or help would be appreciated.:)

Erase and install does just that... it erases your hard drive.
Nothing is saved. This is why you would need to backup your files.

Make a .Mac account. Sync them in. After erasing your hard drive, sync it back. Worked for me...
