Installing OpenLinux
Getting Started Guide
49
•
Standard Installation: This requires about 500 MB. It is a full-featured
Linux system, including all common server and workstation packages.
•
All Packages: This option requires nearly 1.4 GB of hard disk space. It
installs all of the binary packages and software development tools from
the OpenLinux Install CD-ROM.
•
Business Workstation: Similar to the Home Computer configuration,
with more emphasis on networking and security and less on games.
•
Development Workstation: Contains packages that include software
development tools and header files.
•
Home Computer: Contains packages that might commonly be used on
home computers, including packages for the GUI, games, PPP and LAN
networking, and for creating documents.
•
Network Server: Contains packages needed to configure and maintain an
NFS file server, a mail server, an anonymous FTP server and other types
of network servers.
•
Web Server: Contains the apache Web server software, as well as other
tools needed to configure and maintain a Web server. (It contains no X
Window System or KDE software packages.)
•
Custom selection (floppy): Allows you to install a set of packages from a
file contained on a floppy diskette. It expects the list of packages to be in
the file /etc/pkgs.sel on the floppy diskette. (See Chapter 12 for informa-
tion on creating custom installation floppy diskettes.)
NOTE: If the partition you created and formatted for Open-
Linux is not large enough for one or more of the installation
options, such as All packages, that option will be inactive so
that you cannot select it.
Remember that you can add or remove any software package after the installation
is completed by using the graphical package manager. To start this tool, choose
COAS|kpackage on the KDE Desktop main menu. Software packages and the
utilities to work with them are described in Chapter 10.
