I remember when i put panther on my imac g3, it had an option to keep all my files on the hd, and install the new operating system.. i think...

I have 10.3.9 right now in my imac g5, when i get tiger , do i need to save every file i have to tons of disks, clear the hd, then install tiger, then put everything back? or can i just pop the tiger disk in, and it wont matter that i have all my apps and files still on the hd?

Answer: No, you do not have to wipe your drive to install Tiger; Apple would never force you to do that. The installation option you are referring to is called Archive and Install. You can either upgrade your current system to Tiger or perform an Archive and Install.
