{{Admon/caution|THIS IS AN OLD VERSION OF THE LAB|'''This is an archived version. Do not use this in your OPS235 course.'''}}
= Fedora 19 Installation Methods (on Virtual Machines: fedora1, fedora2, fedora3) =
<li>Change your '''host name''' to '''fedora1''' (refer to your [[OPS235 Lab 1]] notes).</li>
<li>Compare the installation time to the amount of time it took to do this type of installation. Record this information in the '''table contained in Investigation 4'''.</li>
</ol>
{{Admon/note|Network / Service Considerations|Please perform the tasks below in order allow these Fedora systems to be able to communicate with each other. '''Failure to properly perform these operations can cause problems in future labs'''.|
# Create the VM (called '''fedora2''') as you did with the ''fedora1'' virtual machine, except:
#* In '''step 1 of 5''', set the installation type to '''Network Install (HTTP, FTP, or NFS)'''.
#* In '''step 2 of 5''', provide the location of the software source by providing the URL http://belmont.senecac.on.ca/fedora/releases/19/Fedora/x86_64/os/ . Also Select the system to automatically detect OS type and version. Did it work? If it didn't work, you can move backwards to a previous screen and then manually select the appropriate OS type and Linux version.
#* In '''step 3 of 5''', select the appropriate RAM.
#* In '''step 4 of 5''', set the hard-drive space to '''20GB''' (<u>NOT</u> 15 GB!)
# What was different with your fedora2 install (upon completion) that was different than your fedora1 install? What was similar?
# Record this information in the '''table contained in Investigation 4'''.

Although you have the basic repositories for Fedora19, you can add other repositories as well for "cutting-edge" programs or special applications that may not be available via the regular repositories.|
