ClockworkMod is just that: a recovery mod. So it installs to /recovery, while the su binary and the SuperUser / SuperSU app reside in /system. Both are completely independend partitions. So when flashing the recover image, it should only go to /recovery – and might offer you to root your device when starting it (i.e. "booting to recovery"). I never noticed the latter, though – but that might well be because I've always rooted first ;)

And does Clockwork then afterwards ask to root? Doesn't Clockwork recovery come with the Superuser app (hence automatically rooting)? | |
