Booting and Installing an Operating System 3-13
There are two types of installations:
o The Default Installation installs a mandatory set of
software subsets on a predetermined file system layout.
o The Custom Installation installs a mandatory set of
software subsets plus optional software subsets that you
select. You can customize the file system layout.
The UNIX Shell option puts your system in single-user mode
with superuser privileges. This option is provided for
experienced UNIX system administrators who want to perform
file system or disk maintenance tasks before the installation.
The Installation Guide contains more information about
installing UNIX.
