APPENDIX B INSTALLING MAC <strong>OS</strong> X LEOPARD<br />

NOTE Since the Archive and Install option starts you out with a clean system, some applications<br />

that have installed items in the System Library or Library folder may not function<br />

properly since those items will not be present in the fresh system. To solve this problem, you<br />

can either reinstall the application or find the missing item in the Previous System folder and<br />

move it to the proper folder in the active system.<br />

NOTE Using the Archive and Install option is also referred to as a clean install like in older <strong>Mac</strong><br />

<strong>OS</strong> systems before <strong>OS</strong> X.<br />

• Erase and Install: This option will format the selected volume and then install a fresh copy<br />

of <strong>OS</strong> X on it. With this option, all applications, user data, and settings will be wiped out.<br />

Once you have selected your volume and options and you click the Continue button, you<br />

will be presented with the dreaded software licensing agreement (Figure B-5). You must click the<br />

Agree button to continue with your installation.<br />

Figure B-5. The software licensing agreement; you must agree in order to continue.<br />

After accepting the license agreement, you will be presented with an Install Summary screen<br />

(Figure B-6).<br />

One important installation feature available on the Install Summary screen is the ability to<br />

customize what components are installed with the <strong>OS</strong>. This is available by clicking the Customize<br />

button that will open a pane allowing you to customize some of the components that get<br />

installed (Figure B-7).<br />

Unlike previous versions of <strong>OS</strong> X, all of the customizable components are installed by<br />

default; this pane, however, allows you to deselect items that you may never need, saving you significant<br />

disk space. Some things that people may choose not to install are language translations<br />

and additional fonts for languages that you are likely never going to need. For a desktop computer,<br />

there are likely a large number of printer drivers you can dispense with (if you travel with<br />

a laptop, you may just want to keep all the printer drivers since you never know when you may<br />

need one to print to a random printer in some remote location). Information about each item is<br />

available when you select the item.
