Chapter 3 -
Initial Installation
iCal – Optional. iCal provides an electronic calendar, including some
Internet connectivity features that present a security concern in some
environments. Site policy and operational requirements should
determine whether this tool is loaded.
iSync – No. This application is used to synchronize calendar, address
book, and similar information across computers, PDAs, wireless
phones, and other devices. This tool should not be loaded unless
operationally required.
→ Printer Drivers – Installs printer drivers for some Canon, Epson,
Lexmark, and Hewlett-Packard printers. Install only those needed for the
environment where the system will reside.
→ Additional Speech Voices – No. Speech recognition requires use of a
microphone, which is not recommended. Also, speech synthesis may
violate local security policy.
→ Fonts – No. This package contains fonts for displaying the text of
Middle-Eastern, Russian, Asian, and other languages. If additional
languages will not be used on this system, de-select the entire “Fonts”
option. Otherwise, select only the appropriate sub-options.
→ Language Translation – No. In addition to the selected primary
language, this package installs Mac OS X in all available languages. Unless
additional languages will be used on this system, the entire option should
be de-selected. Otherwise, select only the appropriate sub-options.
→ X11 – No. The X11 X Window system provides the ability to run
X11-based applications under Mac OS X. While this capability may be
useful in some environments, it introduces configuration and security
issues. It is recommended that this package not be installed.
3. When finished choosing portions to include with the installation, click Install
to begin installation.
Install Software
The installation program displays “Checking Installation Media” while it verifies the
installation CD or DVD, which can be time-consuming. Although this test may be
skipped to save time, this is not recommended because an undiscovered error may
cause installation to fail abruptly and leave the system unusable.
After verifying the integrity of the installation disk, the installation program formats
the target drive and installs the operating system, requesting additional disks as
needed. Once the software installation has completed, the process of configuring the
system will begin.
