Ahhh ... a new computer.
1) makes sense it would wipe your HD and that it is a very minimal OS
install. Just enough to boot the OS and not much else
I would think that 2 or 3 MAY let you install classic or add it after
you already have either one installed.
That seems to be quite typical for Jaguar installs where you simply
need to add components after you've installed it
