I'm about to re fomat the HD in my iBook and re install everything but before Im going to do this I have a couple of questions
1) When I re format what is the best format for me to use bear in mind that I will not be using OS 9 on this iBook. Should I use journalling and what are the advantages of this?
2)Do I need to install 10.0 and then do all the updates or can I start from 10.2 and then just do the updates from there?
Any help would be appreciated Thanks

You dont need journaling. The performance hit isnt worth it.

Just install 10.2

Yes, start from 10.2 and get the 10.2.6 combo update and then let software update do the rest.
You don't need journaling and as the previous posted said, use HFS+.

You do need journaling, and you probably won't even notice the performance hit.
A few months back, we lost power while I was using my machine. I have 2 partitions on my hard drive. When the power went out, the boot partition was journaled and the data partition wasn't.
Once our electricity was restored and I booted up, the journaled partition was just fine. The non-journaled partition wouldn't mount, and had to be repaired with DiskWarrior.
I have used journaling on both partitions ever since.

My subjective opinion also is that journaling does make the directory more reliable. But it's not on by default in 10.2. You have to turn it on.
In 10.3, I hear it is on by default.
