One of the points of Migration Assistant is omitting the cruft: prefs that can't be mapped to applications, random system files not associated with either the OS or a package being migrated, etc. It helps considerably with cleanup, but isn't perfect --- largely because of flaws in Apple's installer architecture (if you can call it that...) So you can stretch things a bit farther using it, but depending on what kinds of things you're prone to install you may still find problems in the future. (Most of mine have been bits and pieces of old drivers that slipped in, that weren't compatible with newer OSes.) -- brandon s allbery kf8nh sine nomine associates [email protected] [email protected] unix, openafs, kerberos, infrastructure, xmonad http://sinenomine.net
