As the steps I went thru to get to X.3.9 were, X.2 from CD install, upgrade CD to X.3.4, then DL'd updater to X.3.9, I need to know if'n my CD upgrade to X.3.4 will allow the Archive&Install + saving of setup?, or will I be required to do it all over from the beginning at X.2 and go up from there?? Also, should I remove any/all hacks addonz prior to my beginning on the Archive&Install?? And then, would it be suggestable to preform the above on an up to date clone with a clone back after all is done and tested out as good, lest anything go haywire along the way?? Do Please advise, any/all advice, suggestions, ideas will be very appreciated and much welcomed. TIA for your time and kind considerations.
