Archive and Install -> Previous System: Can I kill it?
I installed Jag and did an Archive and Install. After seeing that everything was working well, I decided to free up a GB or so and got rid of the "Previous System" folder.
A few days later the user of the Mac says that its acting a bit loopy at times: Word not starting up, other apps quitting, ect.
I had made sure that all the apps they use are up to date and in most cases are identical to what I use.
I did a Clean Install (formatted my drives) so I had no previous files to worry about.
So, should there be any probs with killing the Previous System folder?

Can you at least burn it on an archive CD/DVD to free up all that disc space?
I looked through the apps it backed up and there was nothing really useful.
All the prefs and network settings, keychains, etc etc had been kept so, why bother.
I was just wondering if ANY resources were still shared between whats in NEW install and the old crap
In anycase, I'll have to see whats up with the G4.
Why is it that Macs work perfectly when I use them and then others manage to fubar everything once I leave????
yeesh
