pages when creating bootable media.
Example: If you right-click a configuration in the left pane and select Install

select Create an automation partition install package from this page. Both options
give the same result even though the dialog steps are different.
Close this dialog and return to the editor: Select this option to close the Create Boot
Disk dialog without creating an automation boot disk, installer package, or network boot
disk. You can select any of these options from the Boot Disk Creator toolbar or from the
File menu.
