I have a corrupted system on my computer and must do a clean install of Snow Leopard.

Instead of copying/restoring from my Backup, I need to manually reinstall all my programs, docs, etc. I can do this from my SD backup but am not sure if I copy the Applications folder if they will actually install.

Can anyone advise me on this before I do it?

I know that I do not want to old system folder to install again.

Thanks.
