[Ti] Tiger Install (?)

[T Molnar]

Ok Thanks for the feedback.

I spent some time looking over the Apple site and the Tiger threads 
there.

I am kind of old school in totally installing a system on a newly 
formatted drive, but I don't
have a lot of time to bring things over or worry about how to bring 
stuff over.

Guess I will think a bit more on it.

thanks
tim
