that doesnt wipe the entire current profile config. if you were to go thru
wizard again with an existing profile - it will be an option on wizard start
with its current config there. scratch wipes it. there is no danger of picking
up prior profile config then. no backups. nothing.

Yes. That was my point. Users can select the default profile or press "Scratch"
or "Reset" buttons. And it's not totally clear what is the difference between
all these variants. So i propose to remove one of the buttons in this dialog
to avoid duplication.

they could still read the description of the default profile, which explicitly
says to select that to restart the wizard.

reset - correct. resets your profile to its original state. scratch... starts
from scratch. first run wizard. example" scratch that -- start again" "start
from scratch".

Those buttons do almost the same thing. "Reset" removes all your
configuration settings and you start with the clean profile.
"Scratch" does the same + sets your profile to the "default" one.

IMO, the "Scratch" button should be removed.

Don't quote me on this but... I believe "reset" just defaults your current
profile, while "scratch" wipes out all profiles.

Hopefully someone who wrote said buttons can comment on if this is really
all they do :)
