<li>Accept the default settings to create the Bootloader and click next.</li>
<li>Make certain that '''Desktop''' applications have been selected, and accept the default settings in the '''additional repositories''' section (at the bottom), then proceed. You may look at what's available if you choose "Customize now" but you don't need to customize the software installed at this point.</li>
<li>Add in your lab logbook a brief description of the term "software repository" and what its major purpose serves (what you think it does). We will not add any existing repositories since we are not currently connected to the Internet. Therefore, we will customize the repositories later.</li>
<li>'''Proceed with the installation. This may take some time'''. Record in your lab log-book the <u>general</u> steps in the installation process (displayed in the dialog box).</li>
<li>When installation is complete, a screen will confirm completion, and will then ask the user to remove the DVD, and reboot the computer. Write in your lab log-book the time it took to perform this DVD install.</li>
<li>Remove the Installation DVD, and click '''Reboot'''.</li>
 
<li>Remember to press F10 when restarting the computer, and select the your SATA drive to boot from your removable hard drive.</li>
<li>When the system starts, a one-time setup program will run to add regular user accounts, and to set date and time.</li>
<li>Create a user account for yourself using the same user ID as your learn account, and create a suitable password.</li>
<li>Set or accept the time and date default. Normally, you would want to enable '''Network Time Protocol''', but since we will be experimenting with the networking turned off in later labs, '''leave it disabled'''.</li>
<li>Accept all other defaults (you can ignore the Kdump feature). Finish the post-installation customization and then login to your computer account that you created.</li>
<li>Proceed to Investigation 2</li>
