Hi. 
At Monday's morning I should receive new macbook, so I decided to do some cleaning my current one and using setup/migration wizard on new.
It looks like I have couple of questions before comming "big day"
1. I want to remove all apache/mysql/php/linux stuff I installed and start using homebrew solution.
I removed ports (bsd) (of course following manual). fink from what I know is keeping all data in /sw, so Im not bothering fink right now. But..
sh-3.2# ls /usr/local/
.dscache git sbin
PEAR mysql share
bin mysql-5.1.46-osx10.6-x86 temp
From what I readed /usr/local should be empty.. Im wondering if this installation of mysql/git can have related files somewhere else? Or I can just remove /usr/local/* ?
2. This was my first macbook, I played with him for 1.5 year and now Im thinking.. I have probably some garbage here. Removing unused programs and ports (which I already did) will be enough and I can on new macbook in setup assistant click on "recovery from time machine"? Or better/cleaner method is to use some another way?
3. case-sensitive! I need it. For now I have separate partition for projects/programs where I need it. Which solution is better: whole / case sensitive, or keep / case-insensitive and, like now, create another partition for case-sensitive?
4. If I'll choose keeping all case-sensitive data on separate partition - can I somehow change partition layout BEFORE running setup assistant? Or it's safe to run setup assistant, migrate all data and than shrink main partition and add a new one?
Thanks!
