Installing customized system software
Custom installation allows you to select a combination of system
files for your specific needs. You can also use custom installation
to install or update a single file, or to save space on your hard disk
by installing only the files you want.
To install from floppy disks, begin with step 1; to install over a
network, open the Installer program and begin with step 4.
Make sure the system software you’re using is compatible with
your computer.
