    AIX Basic Operation System Information....

    1)Install AIX.
    2)Install a system that was created with the SMIT
    "Backup the system".
    3)Install the system for use with a "/usr" server.
    4)Start a limited function maintanence shell.

    We choose option 2 as this is the option we use for our own hard
    disk.What do you mean by "the option we use for our own hard disk." ?
