Hi,

I have 9.x and 10.x on the same partition on a Tibook with 10 gigs. To clear up some room I want to get rid of 9.2 completely as I don't think I have ever used it. I believe the only way to completely do this is to delete everything off my HD and reinstall 10.x. However I want to keep all my old programs that I spent hours and days looking for and downloading. I will back my Home to a CD but what of the programs? Is it literally a case of coping them to a CD, even thoes that originally had an installer program? Also fink will have to be backed up too, any advice on how this could be done?

Thanks in advance,

Gav.
 
to get rid of 9.2 just drag the system folder to the trash and empty it. voila. no more 9.2. it's files do not reside anywhere else. then if you really want to make the best use of that new space, defragment the drive.
