I disagree. custom installs are there for many reasons and it is not hard
to figure out what the different dialogues mean. for instance, the first
dialog shows the main program. this cannot be changed. ther will be other
things that cannot be changed. Customizing the install is a valuable way to
maximize your efficiency with your computer and programs. Let's take
microsoft office. It is huge in fact behemethle. If you install all of it,
you get word, caccess, excell, powerpoint, outlook the binder, the language
tools and on and on and on... all you want is word right?

Subject: [VICUG-L] no custom installs, unless
Hi all,
I wanted to comment on Davids post. He's got a good idea there, but, here's
the thing about it. A person should never never do a custom install of a
program unless you know what you're installing. Here's why. Let's say
someone does a custom install of a program. The thing is, when you do a
custom install of a program, you're installing individual pieces of the
program, and if you don't know what to install and what not to install,
you'll completely goof up the program, so, unless you absolutely know what
you're doing, do a tipical install, or, have your clients do a tipical,
(also called by some programs normal install, or a regular install).
