I'm NOT that 'up to date' with OS9's installer. So I don't know for
certain. But they may be assuming that you are starting from a
'clean/new' condition when you choose 'install'.
That would be MY understanding. IF you have that situation, then the
'Install' and 'Clean Install' are one and the same. The difference in
my mind, is that a 'Clean Install' will probably FORCE you (or do it
for you) to 'delete everything'/reformat before it does the install.

I've done a number of "clean installs" and never had to wipe, delete or
reformat. It just gave me a new "clean" blessed system folder along
the old system
folder from which you can drag any old Extensions, CP's or Pref's into
the
new clean one. Of course we are talking about OS 9. Have I missed
something?
