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.
