Shhh...Norberto. You think the fellow can't read the TSS byline for
himself?

It takes
hours and a lot of tinkering, but in Linux I simply archive one
directory and
it just works. This breaks down only when the individual apps,
such as KDE,
have changed between their own versions such that prefs no longer
match. We
(as the OS developer), have no control over this and the KDE guys
seem to do
this for the fun of it, just to make things interesting :)
For homedirs
Dump it to a disk image/CD, then copy it back, overwrite
everything.
The biggest problems happen if your new UID is different from your
old UID.
But chown -R fixes that.
For /Library, the best way is a clean install that preserves user
and
network settings. There's *maybe* a handful of things that won't
get put
correctly for you, and they'll be sitting in the same relative
place in the
/Previous Systems/ directory.
For /System, leave it the heck alone. If you had kext's in there,
just
reinstall from source media.
