Yes ALex there is no reason why an archive and install would behave
any differently. Of course always having a backup is a must because
anything can go wrong.

True, but archive and install has been typical of past installers so I
would think they would continue that. Since Apple went with a Users
folder for all user documents and preferences it makes it much easier to
swap out the OS without effecting the users data.

Not got a sollution, more of a question. I think I've seen the same
behaviour you described. Next time it happens, can you check the file
sizes of both copies you get? For me, it was always that one was the

yes, it's possible. The program of choice seems to be Amadeus Pro,
