To Bundle or Not to Bundle

[pjrivers01]

I have a network and am installing 3650's to replace 2811's. I am using the 3650 as a layer 2 switch and do not need all of the services that come with the bundles image of the 3650.  Is it better to use a single .bin image at boot, or use the bundle?

Thanks for your help with this.

Have a look at this document describing both bundle mode and install mode:
