Installation Modes
The Setup program offers three installation modes: Express, Typical, and Custom.
Express
Use this mode to get the system running quickly, using default settings as much as
possible. This mode was designed for administrators who want to test a server's
basic operation on a particular system before deploying. It automatically generates
as much information as possible to complete the most basic installation. Generally,
you only need to enter administrator names and passwords during an express
installation.
Typical
Use this mode if you want to specify some, but not all, installation options.
Administrators often use this mode because it handles the details of server
configuration, while still letting them modify settings such as directory location,
port numbers, user names, and passwords.
Custom
Use this mode only if you've run the installer before, and are familiar with server
configuration settings and how to modify them. This mode is most useful to the
administrator who routinely installs and upgrades servers, and whose company
has already identified special enterprise needs. When using custom mode, you can
specify all typical options as well as advanced ones such as the IP address of a host
system.
