Yes, clean install requires you erase the [ Volume/ Partition ] that  
you want to install too, Disk Utility will allow you to erase
only the Volume that you will be installing too.    Boot into the  
Install disk,  when the language screen come up, select the language
you will be using,  on the next screen, go to the Menu Bar at the top  
of the monitor, and select Disk Utility,  when Disk Utility launches
it will list each drive on your system,  and also each Volume on each  
drive.   You Select the Volume on the drive you will be installing
too,  and it will only erase the one Volume..

You should back up your Application Folder on that drive,  if you  
have applications on it, that you want to keep,  You should backup
the Documents Folder before erasing!

Somewhere before the installation start, you will be ask if want to  
use OS 9.2,  say yes, if you plan on running any OS 9.2 Applications
and the installer does the rest.    [DO NOT ARCHIVE THE OLD SYSTEM,  
IF IT HAS PROBLEMS YOU WILL BE SAVING THE PROBLEMS]
