Last week I discussed how to do a basic installation of OSX. This week I will discuss different options you can choose (or may have to choose) during the installation process. Some of these options will save you hard drive space, and also shorten the installation time. Once again, the screen shots are from a 10.3 install, and may vary slightly for other versions of OSX.
