Using Archive and Restore went very quickly. I was back up and
working in a little over an hour. The only things that had to be
reinstalled were applications that provide their own drivers. A
simple reinstall of those was all that was required. I took a week
or so to get all those reinstalled only because I didn't bother to do
them all at once. I reinstalled them as I needed them. There may
still be a couple more, but they would be for things I use once a
year or so. I never went back to the archived system folder.

I imagine that the best is a clean install, but this is a nightmare
of a job, even if you use either a different HD or a different
partition --not so much the System (Tiger) install, as the rebuild
of everything you have presently running (under Panther). And for
the moment, I can't think of this before my holidays, somewhere
next August, perhaps...

I think you will find that a lot of the problems encountered with
Tiger were caused by using the Update option in the installer.
That leaves a lot of old Panther files remaining in the system.
Sometimes the code will use the obsolete files because they were
not removed. This causes all sorts of problems. Unfortunately
Apple defaults to the Update option. The Archive and Restore
option is much more reliable - though it requires considerably
more disk space since it retains the original system files in case
you need to retrieve something from them.
