What do I need to backup ?
The user folder ? Is that the only place that holds
any hidden stuff ?
Obviously I save all other data folders and I have
all the apps on Cd...
The user folder is a good start. Now, did you create any special network
locations? If so, those aren't saved in the user folder.
The best way to do that is to clone your current startup disk onto another
disk, external or even an iPod if it's hard disk is large enough.
Then, format, reinstall. When everything is working fine, then you can
restore the bits and pieces you need from the cloned installation.

fandango on core n.: [Unix/C hackers, from the Iberian dance] In C, a wild
pointer that runs out of bounds, causing a core dump, or corrupts the
malloc(3) arena in such a way as to cause mysterious failures later on, is
sometimes said to have `done a fandango on core'. On low-end personal
machines without an MMU (or Windows boxes, which have an MMU but use it
incompetently), this can corrupt the OS itself, causing massive lossage.
Other frenetic dances such as the cha-cha or the watusi, may be substituted.
See aliasing bug, precedence lossage, smash the stack, memory leak, memory
smash, overrun screw, core.
