[ * ] Media only installation
[ ] Media with Network enabled (allows use of SD depots)
[ ] Ignite-UX server based installation
User Interface Options:
[ ] Guided Installation (recommended for basic installs)
[ * ] Advanced Installation (recommended for disk and filesystem management)
[ ] No user interface - use all the defaults and go
Hint: If you need to make LVM size changes, or want to set the
final networking parameters during the install, you will
need to use the Advanced mode (or remote graphical interface).

5. Choose Media only installation. The option Advanced Installation is recommended since
it allows the exact specification of the desired file system layout. It is important to choose
appropriate file system sizes! The backup needs to fit into the created layout!
6. In the following screens only older HP-UX revisions allow the so-called Minimum
Runtime installation of the OS. Since we plan to use our backup for a subsequent
recovery this is a fine option to choose. With 11i the minimum option we should select is
called Base OS.
