Since you will performing a full install on your computer, you cannot use that computer to simultaneously view instructions while you perform the full install. Here are some suggestions to make this process easier:
|
Do's and Don'ts
 Bring all of these supplies to each class.
Even after installation, the Live CD and Installation DVD may be required. Place your Full Name and Contact Information on the hard disk tray cover and directly on the disk drive.
Use an adhesive label and permanent marker, or a white marker on the black cover. No label - no marks for your labs. Always "double-check" that you have removed your hard disk tray prior to exiting the lab room.
You may have your hard drive tray stolen which will result in lost work! Do not share your OPS235 disk drive with another course.
The work you do in other courses may damage the Linux parts on your drive. Earlier labs become the foundation for later labs.
Seemingly "small errors", or "skipping instructions" in earlier labs can have negative consequences when performing other dependent labs. Make backups when requested at the end of labs for "restoration points" in case something goes wrong while performing a lab. Always shut down your system under software control, rather than using the reset or power buttons.
You can shutdown using the GUI or with the poweroff, reboot, init, or shutdown commands. Shut down your virtual machines before shutting down your main system. |
