What Can Be Skipped?

What Can Be Deleted After Installation?

Illustrator 9 comes on a single CD with documentation. The program must be decompressed from the CD onto a hard drive to run. The installation process can be very simple, although doing a custom installation requires some planning. Understanding the options and using the custom installation option can save hard disk space, reduce the amount of time required to load and start Illustrator, and streamline the work process. In addition, a custom installation may be required when limited hard drive space is available.
