Having owned my mac for about 35 days now, I've loaded and unloaded bucket loads of software titles and have generally had a really good play about with the system.

I'm starting to see a few instabilities, and now I know what I want to buy / install and what I don't I was considering doing a fresh wipe / install of Tiger to get things back to the way they were the day I unpacked it. This is easy enough since I have a 160GB firewire drive, but what about fink?

I only have Quanta+ installed, but it took a good day or so of compiling and 1.8GB of disk space to get there, and I don't desperately want to have to go through all that pain again!

If I were to back up the entire /SW tree. Then reinstall Tiger. Then reinstall fink, then finally restore my /sw tree would this work?

Would be nice if it did and I didn't need to recompile it all again :)

Ta,
martin.
