I'm installing 4.10 from am ISO CD, and it installs fine. However, I would like to start over from scratch and it "remembers" some of what was on the HD from the last install. If I were in Windows/DOS I would just "format C:" but that doesn't seem to be an option here. Jay O'Brien Rio Linda, CA USA
