Install on existing D Drive

[Kiran Krishna]

Can I then get a list of what the server class install actually does( on the 
net/ in books/ elsewhere) and do a custom class install doing the same but 
without the repartitioning?( I have done that now and have something like 
2.5 gigs free of partitions.) Thanks. ( I just got  disconnected from my 
internet account a couple of times. So forguve me if you get it two or three 
times.)
