I'd like to install Tiger on my powerbook. Rather than upgrade I'd like
to do a clean install. If I archive my Applications and home folders
before installing Tiger, can I get all my apps and data back just by
restoring these folders, or is it likely to go pear-shaped?

Thanks,

Archive personal data. But apps I think should be loaded from
originals. There are lots of files associated with an app that do not
obviously show.

The latter. Upgrading changes the contenst of both those folders.
Use the 'Archive & Install' method.
