Installation

System Configuration

Now it is time to choose between two different installation processes. The

following screen provides either the simple or the advanced process.

Screen 71: Simple or Advanced Install?

Unless you have some pressing reason to use the advanced option, Dwarf

highly recommends the simple option. The advanced option provides dselect

as the tool for choosing and installing the packages you want. While this lets

you choose just those individual packages that you need, and their dependent

packages, the process of selection can be tedious and complex. See the section

on dselect starting on page 47 for more details.

Choosing simple provides a short list of task oriented package groupings that

make it easy to get the features you want into the system you are building.

Press ENTER here and, after a bit of clicking and whirring the task selection

screen is presented.
