Hmmm...

says

"Archive and Install installations require the greatest amount of available disk space because you need to have room for your existing System and the new one you are installing."

I don't have enough space.

So is the best way in this case to delete my huge /Users folder and copy it back after the install?

What if I chose the 1st option, "Upgrade", that apparently doesnt duplicate the whole system. Dont know if I'll have that choice until testing later...

I'll tell you, what I typically do with problems, before buying Superduper, is ditto my /Users folder to a 2nd HD, then wipe the boot drive clean and do a fresh install. Then in SysPrefs>Accounts I add back all the different Users I had, being very careful to always add them in the same order as I did the 1st time so they get the same UID as previously. Then I carefully swap the fresh /Users folder for my old large /Users folder, usually in single user mode when Im being careful.

Which way do you think is the fastest/best?
