Yes, I too did a clean install.

Make sure you move that tarball to a partition that won't be formated.
If you decide to save it to a CD, really use that tarball to presave the
rights of files.
(Feel free to ignore this post, if you know all that. ;-)  I post it
cause there were a problem with missing rights after upgrade just some
weeks ago.)
