Easy. once the new install is complete, you just plug back in the USB drive on which your old volume was made. Then, you just manually move over the stuff you want to kepe from that volume. Now, since the new install will work much better, completely erase the backup and do the hole thing over again; meaning the backup.
I am so glad that ®Apple™ has made this possible for us; and that ®Lion™ just improves on it. Sincerely, The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!! Now a very proud and happy Mac user!!!
