clean install my OSX10.1.2????

[shirleyowl]

Help please I wanted to do a clean install of my Jaguar but after doing it I notice my screen etc is exactly the same. i didnt expect that I thought I would have a fresh start.
Also applications are quitting suddenly. I had 3 do so last night. so I turned it all off and came in fresh this morning, and then as I was trying to unpack 10.2.2. disk copy quit suddenly too.
I am now wondering what I ahve done
To do my clean reinstll I put in a CD restarted while holding option C down. then went through the installation precedure.
I did try to add one other language but it got stuck.
the message said software is installed. but then it also said it has less than a minute to finish[or WTTE]
So now I am completely puzzled, confused disconnumbulated.

Apple coule not get away with marketing OSX a few years ago when everyone was limited to a dial-up connection to the internet. With the flood of system & application updates for Microsoft and Apple OS's, a high speed connection is essential.

If you are stuck with a modem, get a separate download manager that can resume broken downloads (try searching at versiontracker.com for a free utility).
