Who doesn't want to erase the hard drive? I've erased my hard drive a couple of times now (on dual hard drives). It is the easiest way to really clean you disk clutter. I always have these files that I make and then never use, so I copy the contents of the drive over to my main drive, and erase the hard drive, then go back and organize everything that I moved over in the first place. Also just cleaning the hard drive feels so refreshing. You get that little quiver when you hit erase like it is a bad thing and you are doing it anyways! :) Back to the post though. I believe 10.2 will install 9.2.2 on the second part of the install. No, you do not need to install it to run 10.2.

I dont think 10.2 comes with a classic environment as part of the install.
