Reinstalling Mac OSX

I hope this hasn't been covered before, but given the absurd search restriction of a minimum of four letters, how does one search for anything involving MAC OSX?

The Macbook will be going up for sale on ebay very shortly. It came with 10.4 Tiger installed, which I am led to believe has an "archive and reinstall" function. However since the aim of the reinstall is let the new owner start with a completely new sheet, my instinct is to go with the Erase and Install option.

I realise I will have to install all the software updates that have followed, but that shoudn't be a major problem, assuming the newly installed OS will automatically recognise the wireless network as it did when I first took it out of the box.

Has anybody had any experience with this procedure? Is it straightforward? Any particular tips or advice would be appreciated.
