Dude I ddon't even know at this point. My problem is that I am not
at home with my external drive, so backing up is a problem. If this
is absolutely necessary, I thought about just getting a .mac
account on the 60 day trial. I have my files and folders backed up
on my hthumb drive, so I am not worried about installing the
programs. Now what is most important is my e-mail accounts,
messages address book along with Mail settings. Basiccly my whole
Mail program upgrade worked for me.
needs to stay in tact. For these reasons I can't figure out which
installation will work that I can actually do that will not make me
want to clean install once I get back home. I hate cluttered
machines. I don't leave files on my computer that are not being
used. So needless to say I want to wipe it clean and start fresh,
but I need mail badly.

Sherl or anyone else who can answer this question. Can I copy the
Library folder and do a clean install then use the Migration
assistance to retrieve my files from my thumb drive once I have
the new OS in and running?

Well, first make sure what didn't come along with you. If you
checked the checkbox to preserve user directories and settings,
you may find that most of your third party apps came along and
you just need to see if they work. If you didn't check that
checkbox, I think you probably would have been put through the
whole setup process and would have been given the option to use
Migration Assistant to import what you wanted. It's also possible
of cou8rse to copy things directly from your Previous Systems
folder but I would think you'd maybe want to give Migration
Assistant a try first; I believe you can still use it even if you
didn't get asked about it in setup.
