After you've backed up, if you've chosen to do so. Put the Install disk in the computer and restart the machine holding the "C" key down. This will boot the computer off the CD. The installer will then start. >From there its pretty simple and straight forward. It's a a wizard thats pretty easy to follow. If you want to wipe everything out you are doing a clean install. If you are just upgrading the OS you can do an archive install, which preserves your data and puts the old system in a folder on the hard drive. If you've got any other questions feel free to ask.
