Which type of install will you do with Mac OS X v10.2 Jaguar when it comes out?

By the way, Archive and Install is the Mac OS X equivalent to Clean Install

I'm going to do a backup, reformat, and install personally.

Gonna do an archive on my iBook, and a backup/reformat/install on my G4, but that is because I'm moving it over to 10.2 Server, and I want to change the partition scheme.

Dying harddrive is bad voodoo. At least they are pretty cheap right now.

From everything I've read, this is one of the best updaters Apple has ever made, leaving you with a very solid system. I'm going to update first, and hopefully everything will work fine.

If it doesn't work... then I still have the option of reformatting & installing.
