I did an Archive and Install (but not preserve current users) of Leopard. What do I need to do now, so that I don't lose any accounts, projects, statistics, etc. Thanks Will

I think all you have to do is go to the BOINC site, download the latest version and install. Then attach the various apps you want, and watch for smoke <grin> Just make sure you use the same email address, username, etc., as you used with Tiger.

As long as you restore the BOINC Data folder to Library/Application Support/, in case the system installer removed it, a new version of BOINC should resume exactly where the old one left off.
