[X4U] Migration question

[Christopher Collins]

Copy the data you want off, or clone the disk to another drive using  
either ccc or superduper or something else.

Then do a clean install and all necessary updates.

Then connect the backup and copy over the information you want to keep!

Good idea if you haven't clean installed since Panther.
