System Configuration

Now it is time to choose between two different installation processes. The following screen provides either the simple or the advanced process.

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  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.
