:* In this lab, you are going to install the CentOS (GNU/Linux Distribution) to your removable hard disk from your burned DVD.
:* Although this will be a simple install, this CentOS Operating System will be a platform (host) for other Virtual Machine CentOS installations (in future labs). Therefore, it is very important that you take the time to carefully read and perform ALL steps, and take time to check your work.
:* After performing the CentOS DVD installation, you will collect baseline information about your system, and perform some post installation configuration to prepare your system for the remainder of the labs.

<li>Select the option '''Install or upgrade existing system'''. When the Installation DVD boots, it will prompt the user to test the media (i.e. DVD) for integrity. Since time is limited for installation in the lab, select '''SKIP'''. On the other hand, if the install did not work, then you can test out the integrity of the DVD in the computer lab during your spare time.</li>
<li>Select the default language (English), the default keyboard layout and Basic Storage Devices in the following installation screens.</li>
<li>Set your hostname (name of the computer) to '''c6host''' (one word, no space, all lowercase).</li>
