The options are: Personal Desktop Most home users will want this installation becauseit contains the most appropriate software set for home or office users(including laptops). Games, word processors, Internet tools, and otheruseful packages are included. Workstation Similar to the personal desktop type but includes toolsfor system administration as well as software development. Server Installs software needed for providing external services, including file and print, Web, and mail services. This is an advancedinstallation type and should be used only if you need it because youcould misconfigure your system and create a security vulnerability. Youcan choose to install a graphical user interface as well, so if you don twant the extra overhead of a GUI, you can go without one on this type. Custom Provides the most flexibility because you can configure thepartitions and software packages you want (everything!). This is yourchoice if you want to have more control over the installation. If you wantto experience a large set of applications, you can choose this instead ofinstalling applications one by one. You can also choose a more specificset of packages if this is to be a server used for external services, provid- ing a higher level of security. For this chapter, the Custom installation type is used and assumed. 8.Decide how you want to partition your hard drive.

If you use this on an Old World ROM system, regardless of the installation type, it destroys the installation andrequires a reformat and reload of Mac OS. Note19_
