Man, it's been so long. I don't expect you to give me a step-by-step, 
but are the broad strokes that I would make a CD or DVD on another PC, 
then boot from that to do the fresh installation?
Is there a command I can run, then at boot the installation would begin? 
I assumed I was going to lose everything anyway - I'm good about backing 
up data.
