[X Newbies] updating to Panther on new HD

[Raoul Armfield]

understood.  I come from a mostly pc background and to me a clean
install is format, reinstall.  If I now understand correctly a apple
clean install is new system folder and everything else stays the same.

:I was just wondering, if you are suggesting doing a clean install of
:Panther on the new drive, what is the point of installing jaguar on it
:even if you are using carbon copy cloner?  Is that not just a waste of
:time?

:No, because you get your user setup and most of your application 
:registrations set up for you. You just have to drag some of them from 
:the "previous system".
