yep.
do you still have the installer? if so, bring up the contextual menu (VO
Shift M) and go to show package contents. From there you need to find the
InstallESD.DMG file (can't exactly remember where it's located), now open it
so it mounts to the desktop, insert a blank DVD and when finder asks you
what to do, run disk utility from the dialogue box.
from here it's a simple burn the install DMG contents to the DVD.
after this has happened, reboot the mac with the DVD still in and hold down
the C key. give it a min or two and then Command F5 for voiceover,
the next step for the clean install (I advise before doing anything else
including these previous steps is a data backup of essential files you want
to keep to a pen or external drive, etc) when you've agreed to terms, etc,
go to the tools menu and launch disk utility. go to the hard drive and erase
it. YYou can either do a quick erase or any of the secure erase functions.
(it's at this point I advise not having any other external drives connected
such as pen drives or external hard drives, otherwise you might accidentally
select the wrong drive.)
erase the drive, when completed, quit disk utility and continue with the
installation. you can with Voiceover, customise the installation, etc before
the install starts, this includes apps, languages, etc. If memory serves me
right, the install starts with downloading some necessary files not included
in the installer so ensure you have a working internet connection for this.
after this, the install goes on and will finish, as long as voiceover is
running, you're fine.
good luck and have fun. if you need further help, let us know.
