So I'm left thinking that a truly "clean" install on a Mac would
require
wiping out everything associated with SM by using a third party app
like
App Delete. Which would of course mean you'd also be deleting all of
your previous Profile and Pref information.
I'm talking about install of Snow leopard system from the DVD.
Most all applications either install from a dmg file , Pkg install or
drag from dmg to appropriate folder. If you leave the old application in
the applications folder (Directory) it will ask if you wish to replace
and older version ....
If you move old app to Trash you don't get this message.
...oh, I thought you were talking about a "clean" install of SM or other
apps.
As for Mac OS system upgrades, I've always just installed them over the
existing system and never had any issues. I do the Repair Permissions
dance both before and after system upgrade/install, but other than that
nothing special.
In previous installs to Snow Leopard You were asked to do either a clean
install or Archive and Install, or install over previous install I tried
installing X.4 over 3 and never could not get it to work finally I had
to use the option of archive and install.
I think I've only ever done an Archive and Install once, and I can't
remember what the reason was...I must have been troubleshooting
something. I installed Sno-Lep right over Lep on my Intel iMac, and Lep
right over 10.5.x on my G5 iMac.
Which I sort of wish I hadn't done now...I should have partitioned that
drive an created a tri-boot capable machine, or dual boot at the very
least. I still have uses for OS 9, so one of these days I'll clone that
drive, partition, and do the dance to at least make it dual boot.
