Minor word of warning on Clean Install Assistant.... If there's
really any reason to do a clean install, this app could defeat the
whole purpose... The only real reasons for doing a clean install are
when either Apple or 3rd Party software has corrupted ("hosed") your
system.... if it happens to be 3rd Party stuff that's causing the
problem, having this app move it back into the System Folder will
just corrupt your system again.

When doing clean installs, you must use a full-OS cd... if you have a
full OS 9.1 CD, use that. If all you have is a 9.1 Update CD, you'll
need to clean install OS 9.0.x (whatever CD you have), then upgrade
to 9.1.
