In this lab, you are going to install the Fedora (GNU/Linux Distribution) to your hard disk from DVD.
FirstAlthough this will be a simple install, you are going will be required to first create a number of hard disk partitions/physical volumes for this installation: '''/dev/sda1 (300M)'''perform other Fedora installations using Virtual Machines. This main install will be very important, '''/dev/sda2 extended partition''', '''/dev/sda5 (300M)'''. Then during your since you need to properly install Fedora in order to run other virtual machines to install other Fedora installation you will use the '''/dev/sda1''' partition for booting your computerdisributions.
During your Fedora installation, you will also be using '''LVM''' (Logical Volume Management) to create '''physical volumes''' (containers) called '''/dev/sda6''', '''/dev/sda7''', '''/dev/sda8''', and '''/dev/sda9'''. This storage will be split into various '''Logical Volumes''' (mount points or "main directories"). This installation approach will allow the user to perform other Fedora installation methods using ''"Virtual Machines"'' in future labs. After the installation, you will collect baseline information about your Fedora GNU/Linux system, do some post installation configuration to prepare your system for the remainder of the labs, manipulate the '''GRUB''' configuration, and start using the system.
