The 'archive and install' option worked really well for me - still some shuffling around of files required, but it eliminated the donkey-work of n/w configuring and setting up accounts from scratch. See Dan Frakes' article on the Macworld website for some good additional advice. Oh, and don't miss that 'options' button in the installer (easily done) , which lets you choose which languages to install. Tim -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
