Selecting Which Software to Install
After selecting a disk, you need to decide between a standard or a custom installation. The
standard installation installs all the software you need for your model of computer and is the
best choice to solve system software problems. A custom installation lets you add or remove
specific system software components.
Note: Keep in mind that the more components you install, the more memory, or RAM, is
used and the greater the potential for software conflicts. Install only the items you expect to
use.
Standard installation: Click Reinstall. Proceed to “Standard Installation” on page 56.
If necessary,
