This may not be the answer you're looking for, but (if this is all on the same machine of course) why are you reinstalling instead of updating?
I tried to forestall that question by saying "But sometimes for instance I replace a machine ...." I guess I should have made the thought more conspicuous -- and maybe also mentioned that I sometimes bollix a machine up so badly that a fresh install is the easier or the only alternative.
Last week, for instance, I managed to so foo a brand new laptop that anything I did on the login screen killed it. (I'd've tried a repair if I'd been able to remember how to boot straight into single user, or find out again how. I spent a few days trying, and then just put the install disc back into it. <sigh>)
