IMPORTANT:
Certain system extensions or applications that were
originally on your hard disk may not be installed with the Installer
program. If you notice that a certain extension or program was not
installed, you may need to install it separately. You can find these
additional extensions and programs on the CD-ROM disc that contains
system software. (Application programs from other vendors can be
reinstalled from backup copies you made.)
Doing a Clean Installation of System Software

by doing a normal installation.

tains system software.
