In theory, just changing the CD-Rom is enough.

Between rc3 and rc8, ERP5 has evolve a lot so the persistent data on your 
current HDD could be outdated. In this case, and If the data and 
configuration of your previous ERP5 has no value and can be destroyed, then 
yes, you can reformat your HDD.

FYI, the Live CD don't let you reformat your HDD if a previous installation of 
ERP5 is found. I think it could be great to let the user do it. I would like 
to add this feature in a future release of live cd.

Anyway, if you want to erase your HDD, delete the content of /mnt/erp5_cd, 
then reboot your machine. You will have the default welcome screen that ask 
you if you want to erase your HDD.

Again: do this only if you accept to delete your previous ERP5 data from your 
HDD !

No. You can install a Mandriva 2006 than install ERP5 using our RPMs 
Repository.
