[CUBE] problem installing JAG {Backup your data!}

[Randy Spencer]

Yes, erase disk will only erase the partition you are installing on, and
there is also the Archive and Install that I had to do on my machine that
only had OS 9 on it, I don't know why, but it worked.  It didn't even move
OS 9 files since it is archiving any old OS X install and there was none.

I know how thrilling it will be to start playing with OS X, but come on, get
a backup solution already.  CD burners are CHEAP! They come with Retrospect
(most of them).  Blank cds are FREE (after mail-in rebate) and CD-RWs are
down to $.50 a pop at Fry's in boxes of 10.  There is no excuse to having
fear of losing data.  Hell, buy an iPod and back-up your critical data to
it, and have your music with you at all times.
