Clean Install
Unfortunately doing the upgrades manually has broken a couple of things elsewhere, so I will probably go to 9.2 just to get a clean install of X.Org... Saying that, I think the main server will probably stay on 9.1 for a while until 9.2 is tested and stable on the other machines, then I'll swap the workload (and

upgrading from XP-Home to XP-Pro: Worth the trip?
I will add one twist, and that is a clean install has lead to a better setup than the upgrade does. Win95 regardless of version carries a lot of baggage. Since Win98 gets many of its settings from the original Win95 install why add to the burden. A clean install has resulted in a very smooth and stable

I helped a friend make the upgrade (though a CLEAN INSTALL is really a better idea), and had to hunt down a lot of replacement drivers. The actual upgrade went well, until the supposedly WinXP compliant scanner driver managed to torpedo the SCSI driver and make the system bluescreen at startup! - STOP ERROR.

Upgrade 98 to XP Is it worth it?
Tech says do it all again, and if that doesn't work, go back to vendor and ask for a clean install. If anyone has any words of wisdom here, I'd appreciate it. I'm not sure I trust the tech guy...but that may be because I don't want to! For now, I'm just using the website to check the inbox. Your tech is an idiot.

Mike Langberg: Millennium OS upgrade not worth the risk
Whereas I would agree the upgrade path is more "convenient" in my view it is worth suffering the "inconvenience" of a "clean" install. The Upgarde may go well and no catastrophies may be apparent but my experience suggests that many small problems seem to occur that you can very easily put down to WinXp problems

Is it worth while to upgrade to IE6?
Question 3 - how, exactly, do I "wipe" the machine to get it ready for the clean install?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

My question is... Is it worth it to do a clean install?

Ultimate: clean re-install, need some advice..
I found that it works better when you do a format and a clean install when going from 1 major release (8.x) level to another (9.x). Their problems disappeared when they formated and had a clean install. Some applications worked better when you deleted their .app_nam_erc and recreate it fresh.
