Nice discussion but not the issue - what I am trying to do is like upgrading a
G4 to a G5 or some other change in the Mboard that is questionable and so I do
need to manually find the cookies and bookmarks and preserve them, then
completley wipe the hd removing the exhisting partitions that were on it. I can
not archive and install upgrade or downgrade - so where are these files and
what is the likely names of them. Thanks.
