Sure, there are guides out there. I've seen a few on the forum here. In the OSX Mountain Lion section, specifically.

What do you mean what does he mean?

When you install ML over L it saves all of your programs and files...apparently he doesn't want that.

I wanted clarification, as English is not my first language and I did not understand the OP 100%. Sometimes I ask for clarification in order to provide the correct help. Sometimes I don't.
