<para>Use this option to perform a fresh installation of Mageia. This
will format the <literal>root</literal> partition
(<filename>/</filename>), but can preserve a pre-existing
<filename>/home</filename> partition (a dedicated /home partition, rather than being incorporated within the root (/) partition itself).</para>

<para>Only upgrading from a previous Mageia version that was
<emphasis>still supported</emphasis> when this Installer's version was
released, has been thoroughly tested. If you want to upgrade a Mageia
version that has reached its <quote>End Of Life</quote> then it is better
to do a <quote>clean</quote> install instead, while preserving your
<filename>/home</filename> partition.</para>

<tip>
<para>If you have discovered that you forgot to select an additional
language, you can return from the <emphasis>Install or Upgrade</emphasis>
screen to the language choice screen by pressing <keycombo>
<keycap>Ctrl</keycap>
<keycap>Alt</keycap>
<keycap>Home</keycap>
</keycombo>. Do<emphasis role="bold"> NOT</emphasis> do this later in
the install.</para>
