Before installing, run Disk Utility (from the install CD) and check the
disk. Then repair permissions. Then do an Archive & Install installation
over 10.1.5 (see <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120>),
preserving your user and network settings.

AFAIK, the BSD system is installed automatically.
