What is the difference between the "Create a new ShopSite installation (with first store)" and "Add a store" when running wwwinstall.cgi?

Product: SC
Version: 5.0
Platform: Unix

When I run the wwwinstall.cgi, I see I have two install options:

New ShopSite - "Create a new ShopSite installation (with first store)"
Existing ShopSite - "Add a store"

What's the difference?

If you have never installed ShopSite on your server, you should use the "Create a new ShopSite installation (with first store)" option.
ShopSite CSP resellers who are hosting multiple ShopSite stores on their server can save disk space and consolidate their ShopSite operation by having all stores use the same ShopSite and shopping cart CGIs. The "Add a store" option is for this purpose.
