time required to install the 695 MB
package.

available packages, followed by a “Yes” if the option should be installed, and a
“No” if it should not be installed. The packages installed should follow the
recommendations given here unless an operational requirement necessitates
different settings.

sub-options. To see the sub-options, click on the arrow.

uncompress files that have been compressed for network transmission

risk. It is recommended that they not be
installed unless an exception must be
made due to operational requirements.
