3.4. Installation Options

Tip

Please take a look at the Frequently Asked Questions prior to installing SIMP. The most relevant questions for new users will always be at the top of the list.

If you are installing on a system with an existing operating system, you will want to install from a SIMP Repository. Otherwise, you will probably want to install from the ISO, which configures the disks and partitions to be compatible with most STIGs.
