Booting and Installing an Operating System 6-21
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 Tru64 UNIX Shell option puts your system in single-user
mode with superuser privileges. This option is provided for
experienced Tru64 UNIX system administrators who want to
perform file system or disk maintenance tasks before the
installation.
The Installation Guide contains more information about
installing Tru64 UNIX.
