...? all that jazz? I am doing a full carbon Copy clone as I type so as to not lose a thang in case of a goof up.

How do you keep your mail, Safari, music, and other preffs with doing either an upgrade or clean install?

Will an archive install leave personal data and prefs intact?

What will need to be re-entered if anything?

update should keeep all of your user settings as they are now. clean install will erase everything--so back it up.
