 If you are performing an Express mode install, the parent of the installation directory will be used as the location for the SYSTEM file, the JBASEADM account and jBASE spooler. For example, if jBASE is installed in the default directory, the parent is '/opt/jbase', so the SYSTEM file will be created as '/opt/jbase/SYSTEM'.

 If the installer identified a previous jBASE release, the symbolic link name for the previous release will also be displayed. If you have existing scripts that rely on the previous symlink name, you may want to use the same name here to avoid having to update any existing scripts.
 
 Express install will use the default symbolic link name 'CurrentVersion'.

-**Start jDLS distributed locking service** jDLS is responsible for resolving all record locking conflicts for jBASE processes. If jDLS is not running, jBASE will use the normal operating system locks. This is acceptable for small user populations, but the operating system locking mechanism has limits on the number of locks available, and on performance. See the [Introduction to jBASE Distributed Locking](./../../../miscellaneous/introduction-to-distributed-locking/README.md) for more information regarding jDLS.
