Thanks for the info number6. Would you reccommend wiping the boot HD and installing again? Even a clean OS3.9 install is not clean as it does it's OS3.1/5 files then it's OS3.9 files. And then it has to be updated twice! Be good if it could be slipstreamed. :-)

I suppose I could try backing up and then doing this.

BTW what do you mean by filenote? Did you actually comment every file and later see what files had no comment? And I suppose it has to be updated in expert mode as I've been told you must tell the installer to update your system.

You'll have to forgive me. My system is not set up atm, so I have to go from my memory, which may or may not be correct.
Your idea of backing up is excellent. I have always used a 2 drive system, with everything cloned (including partition sizes/info). You can call it a poor man's raid system, but it works. It also provides a 2nd boot to access in the early startup menu, should something go wrong with "experiments".
iirc, the installer allows you to choose a partition for the install. If so, then I probably created a fresh partition for my install of OS3.9 (and Boing Bags), while maintaining my OS3.0 boot partition, which was all I had prior to OS3.9. Later I just prioritized the new OS3.9 partition for boot.
Yes. I installed OS3.9 and wildcard filenoted the entire install on fresh partition as "OS3.9 CD" I did the same for "Boing Bag 1". Currently, then, all non-filenoted files are by default, from Boing Bag 2, but they could be filenoted as well.
If you perform a fresh install, I hope whatever method you choose performs as well as mine did.
