Re: Panther clean install and perl 5.6+libs

[Chris Cantrall]

The other options for upgrading to Panther are "Upgrade", which is an 
in-place OS upgrade, and "Archive and Install" which puts on a new OS 
and keeps all your old stuff in a folder for you to fiddle with later.  
(Assuming that you've checked the right box during the install, I think 
it's "Preserve Users and Network Settings".)  Your "old stuff" is 
defined as what's in /Users so if you have other stuff you want to 
keep, back it up.

Note that retaining the /Users directory means that the filesystem 
can't be completely rebuilt, so if you're like me and you have some 
hard drive errors, you'll need the "Erase and Install" option.

Good luck, it's worth it.

I'm wondering, if one selects the clean install option on 10.3,  what 
happens to perl 5.6 and any libraries installed under 10.2?
They're deleted, along with everything else - "clean install" formats 
the disk.
