[QUOTE="Emrys, post: 12584, member: 2"] There are advantages, I think, anyway. For one, you get a clean install. Nice and fresh, no other applications to screw things up. Also, you don't have to worry about permission problems, and a bunch of other stuff. This is the method I will use. But I also have Jaguar on it's own partition and all my home stuff on another. So I can format, recreate the symlinks, run the magic bless command, and I should be all set with a fresh install of Panther with all my pref in tact, etc. But this method is still really not a "fresh" install. There will still be stagnant old stuff left in my home stuff, but most likely it won't be an issue. Maybe not a great answer, but this is how I am gonna do it. :) [/QUOTE]
