For more information about configuring these installation options, see the
documentation for the Symantec product.
Adding or removing configuration files

your users do not have to make configuration changes during or after
installation.
The Configuration Files tab lists required files. You cannot remove these files,
but you can replace them with configuration files that you edit. Symantec
Packager does not supply a means to edit configuration files.
For more information about editing configuration files, see the documentation
for the product that you are customizing.
If the Configuration Files tab lists a required file and you choose not to
preconfigure the file, the product configuration file uses a default data file
provided by Symantec.
