I think I answered my own question. In looking over the guides that
came
with the Panther disks, there was an option to re-install. It mentioned
selecting Archive and Install in the Options pane while preparing to
install
the OS. In the Archive and install there is a selection to either
preserve
or not, your user accounts and network settings. Of course, I
de-selected
the preserve network settings. I am in the process of doing that right
now.
With my ibook it takes a painfully long time. It should work. I will
let you
know.
Funny, OSX has to use a different term. I have done numerous clean
installs
from OS 7 on. Now I have to remember it is now called Archive and
Install.

Got to get our terminology straight -----
Clean install = WIPE disk (delete everything or reformat)
Archive & install = saves everything possible --- JUST overwrites
SYSTEM stuff (and possibly cache's etc.)
Seems clear and sensible to me!!
