A clean install does just what it sounds like - it erases everything on your computer and re-installs the version of Mac OS X that you have so that when you turn it on it's like you just bought it

YES .... Save all your data files onto CD's or DVD's

To do a clean install just insert your Leopard disk and when prompted chose "Erase and install", but please make sure you have all your data safely backed up and also make sure you have your program disks to reinstall the software programs.
