Moving to Panther

I've been reading this with interest. I just bought SuperDuper in anticipation of upgrading to Tiger in a few days when it arrives.

My Mac is 3 years old and having some problems due to all that time and 4 OS's going back to OS9. I was thinking of wiping the hard drive clean then installing Tiger, then putting back all my files - including all my applications - with SuperDuper. Asuming there's a way to do that without putting back the Panther system. The real problem is I just do NOT want to reinstall all my programs, what a hassle.

But in reading this thread it seems I can install Tiger on my Lacie Firewire and start out clean on a new hard drive and transefer all my programs and files with Tiger Migration Assistant. Are there any drawbacks on running from the firewire instead of my internal hard drive? Internet and printing will all work the same?

I actually have a second internal hard drive I could install Tiger on as well, would that work better?
