Clean Leopard install without Destroying Boot Camp

[robotartfashion]

Hey everyone, I've tried to google this to no avail, so I thought I'd ask for help

I'm turning my old white imac into a bedroom plex viewer (it will eventually become a kitchen computer) and I want to do a clean install

This was my primary workstation for years before I got my Mac Pro and its just loaded with crap, all of which i've backed up to sort through later

It currently has Tiger and I want to upgrade to Leopard (I bought a family pack for it and my powerbook)

I have a bootcamp XP partition which I would like to keep and not destroy

Can I do a clean install except for the windows partition? Or will doing a clean install destroy bootcamp

Thanks!

just do the clean install on the osx partition

Your Boot Camp partition will not be affected. Once you boot off the install DVD, you will have the option to select the OS X partition to perform an erase/install.
