A "minimum install" means that only those features of the software are installed on your computer which are necessary for the application to run properly and perfrom all its BASIC functions...

Whereas, a "complete install" installs all the features and add-ons provided by that application...

Take for example.. If you have a media player that supports both these options while installing...

Then a "minimum install" will keep it simple and install it in a way that it can play the media files....

well Marven, The CD must be in the drive in order to run PLATO Focus. Choose the minimum install if you want to run PLATO Focus to run on a standalone installation from the CD-ROM.

Macintosh: PLATO Focus Reading is installed in the Applications folder in FOCUS Reading. It also installs a shortcut on the desktop. A full install installs the program application, PLATO Focus, a sample student database, and the entire contents of program data to a folder on the file server on your network. A CD is not required to run the program after it is installed, and all PLATO Focus data is installed on the hard drive. Choose the full install if you want to install PLATO Focus on a network.

Windows: PLATO Focus Reading is installed in Program Files\PLATO\FOCUS Reading. It also installs a shortcut in the Start Menu. Look for PLATO > Shortcut to FOCUS.EXE

Hi JKS Marven...

A "minimum install" means that only those features of the software are installed on your computer which are necessary for the application to run properly and perfrom all its BASIC functions...

Whereas, a "complete install" installs all the features and add-ons provided by that application...

Take for example.. If you have a media player that supports both these options while installing...

Then a "minimum install" will keep it simple and install it in a way that it can play the media files....

Whereas, a "complete install" may also install add-ons like skins, visualizations etc...

I hope I made it clear to you...

Take care...
