Conﬁguring the Installation

Respond Yes if you wish to re-use some or all of the conﬁguration that

you used in the previous session.

Respond No if you want to use an entirely new conﬁguration.

This screen shows all the basic information for setting up the ﬁle system

use the previous conﬁguration (stored in the directory

single-disk systems.

•"Logical Volume Manager (LVM) with HFS (High-Performance

File System)" This selection will format multi-disk systems to
