Adding core slowness information.
# We keep (but rename to something more appropriate) the existing HDD option in OPS235 labs because some students are requesting to install CentOS on their laptop (dual boot or single boot) and so continue doing the lab with all 3VMs on the laptop itself. So no VMs inside a VM stuff for them, except maybe name the labs from external HDD to 'using your own laptop' or some such.<br /><br />
# In case a yum update goes wrong and the advice given by the next run of yum update does not work in making the VM boot into GNOME, then try the following: '''yum install initial-setup initial-setup-gui gnome-initial-setup'''. You might have to reboot and agree to the license conditions at firstboot. <br /><br />
# Nested virtualization is incredibly slow if the host VM (VMware c7host) is using the default number of processor cores (1). Since all processing is done under c7host, it is safe to share all of your cores with Windows and VMware (c7host).<br /><br />
