Question Answered By: Adah Miller   on Jan 21

Only data is preserved in the Home folder. Apps are part of the Root
directory and can't be kept from version to version when a clean
install is done. There are ways to generate a list of apps and
automate their re-installation on the new install but I've never
learned to do it. A search of the group archives should bring you
instructions for that as it's been discussed several times.
