Alright, i have noticed that my install of jag, 10.2.7 has been REALLY buddy, like crashing or auto quits several times a day. So, should i reintsll or should i just wait for panther and deal with it? How much of a pain is it to do a archive and install. I have SOME hacks installed, like APE and such, but nothing major. I dont want to lose my data, or my setting. Will archive and install do it?

Do Archive & Install. It will still be several months before Panther is released.

10.2.7?? That's still in beta...you are using it on your main/production partition...not the best thing to do as you've now discovered.
