Chapter 3 –
Initial Installation
Only user files and data should be saved and later restored; restoring system
settings or previous accounts may change the system configuration specified
in this guidance.
Applications should be re-loaded from the original media, not restored from a
backup.
An “Archive and Install” option is available during installation. This option
saves the current user accounts and restores them once the system has been
re-installed. It is recommended that this option not be used, and that a
completely new installation is performed. If it is necessary to retain the
previous accounts using this option, each account should be configured
according to this guide. Additionally, any restored files and directories may
not have permissions set as recommended in this guide. All restored accounts
should be examined carefully for potential security problems.
Begin Installation
To begin a system installation, it is necessary to boot from the CD/DVD drive. All
data on the target drive will be lost during the installation process.
The following instructions will cause all
information on the target drive to be
lost. Backup any data on the system that
should be retained.
To begin the installation, use the following steps:
1. Insert the first Mac OS X v10.3.x installation disk in the CD/DVD drive.
2. Boot or reboot the system while holding down the “C” key on the
keyboard. This will cause the system to boot from the CD/DVD drive and
will start the installation process.
The following list of screen titles appears during the installation of Mac OS X. Each
bulleted item is the title of a separate screen. All screens are included so the
administrator can gauge installation progress. Instructions are provided only for
those screens where the administrator will need to perform configuration according
to these guidelines. If instructions are not included for a screen, the installer should
select default values (if any) and continue on to the next screen.
