It basically erases the entire content of your chosen drive and installs a fresh, smooth version of the new operating system which is download El Capitan Mac OS X in this case.

> Currently downloading in App Store - estimate is 6days and 18h. I'm sure it'll breakdown halfway through. I have a 100mbit connection and can otherwise download stuff...

But surely apples choice of CDN/content servers wouldn't be card linked but rather be IP linked ?

1. Ahead of time, prepare a bootable USB Flash drive with El Capitan on it. Follow these steps in a great Macworld article by Dan Frakes: ' How to make a bootable OS X 10.11 El Capitan installer drive.
