# Upon re-boot, then select Install as opposed to running the Live system.
# You basically follow the install procedure, but I will include subtle areas and recommended settings:
:# '''Make certain that the eth0 interface is connected. In the case for this server, add an extra network card, and use that one to connect to the internet (and use "embedded" or "on-board" network card to connect to the switch for the thin clients) '''. LTSP 1) will use the next available network interface (i.e. eth1) to connect to the switch that will, in turn, connect to the workstations (thin clients).
:# '''I would recommend an manual partitioning if you have more than one hard disk'''. The current system has two hard disk drives. The first drive is the main system under the mount-point called "/" and the second hard drive has the mount-point called /backup for backing up the system. By correctly specifying these mount-points at this point will allow the system to identify and use these directories when the system is in use. Here are the recommended settings:<br /><ul><li><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold">Hard drive A</span> (/dev/sda): '''Add swap partition''' (double size for RAM size), '''add remaining partition''' as file-system called '''ext4''' with the mount-point called: '''/'''</li><li><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold">Hard drive B</span> (/dev/sdb): '''Add entire file-system''' called '''ext4''' with the mount-point called: '''/backup'''</li></ul><br />
:# '''Create an administrator account''' (do NOT use the username "admin" (that name is already taken) ). You should keep consistent with usernames on the other computer server in case servers need to be "swapped".
