Most labs at Seneca College require students externally boot their lab machines (i.e. from removable disk drive) in order to use the CD / DVD burner...
On the other hand, the Open Lab in the TEL building (RM 2113) allows students to boot Internally in order to download CD / DVD images</b> onto their Desktop, and then burn them.
Note: A repository refers to a "storage area" that contains images and applications for various Operating Systems (including Fedora). Seneca college has a Fedora repository, which allows the student to QUICKLY download, and burn their Fedora LIVE and or Installation CD / DVDs. Students can only access this repository from the college. In other words, they cannot connect to this repository from computer at home...
If you wish to download and burn from your home computer, please refer to the third download and Burning option in the previous page...
Procedure to Download and Burn a CD/DVD in TEL Open Lab:
- Set "Master Selector" on CPU to "Internal".
- Power on Computer.
- Place CD/DVD media into the writable CD/DVD drive.
- To access the boot menu quicker, press ESC at the network boot procedure
- Select 2. Win 7 from the boot menu
NOTE: It may be preferable to boot WINDOWS as opposed to Matrix
(since you may have limited account space in your Matrix account to download a DVD image). - Right-click on the following link:
http://belmont.senecac.on.ca/fedora/releases/16/Fedora/x86_64/iso/Fedora-16-x86_64-DVD.iso - Select "Save Link As" in the context menu, and select "Desktop" as the location, then click SAVE.
The downloading procedure will be VERY fast (only a few minutes). You can tell if the file is currently downloading if you see two files: One the image file, and another file with the same name, but the additional title (PART). Once the "Partial" file no longer appears on your desktop, then the file has finished downloading
After the image has been downloaded to your desktop, right-click on the image file, and in the contect menu, select "Open With", and then select "Nero Express Essentials" in the sub-menu. - Click Burn to start the burning process to the CD/DVD. This process will take several minutes.
- When the burn is completed, exit the application, and remove your CD/DVD from the machine.
- Remove your downloaded images on your desktop.
- Logout and shutdown the computer.
- It is highly recommended to test to see if your install CD/DVD image works by going to your OPS235 lab, and see if the CD and DVD media correctly boots up in the computer lab...
