# Create the VM (called '''centos2''') as you did with the ''centos1'' virtual machine, except:#* In '''step 1 of 5''', set select network installation using the installation type to '''Network Install (HTTP, FTP, or NFS)'''.#* In '''step 2 of 5''', provide the location of the software source by providing the URL http://belmont.senecac.on.ca/centos/6url displayed above.5/os/x86_64/
# Observe the boot process. How is it different from booting from an optical disc (DVD)?
# Start the installation process (make certain to use information in the ''VM Details'' section above).
# When you get to the disk partitioning step, select '''Use All Space''' and enable the checkbox labelled '''Review and modify partition layout'''. If an dialog box displays a permissions problem, then click yes to proceed. On the next screen, change the logical volumes as follows:
#* Reduce the size of the root LV to '''8000 MB'''.
#* '''Add a <u>logical volume </u> with a size of 2000 MB and a mountpoint of /home''' (you can name it whatever you want, and use '''ext4''' as the file-system type).
# On the software selection screen, select '''Graphical Desktop'''.
# Complete the installation. Record the time taken to install, and compare this to the time taken by the previous installations.Record this information in the '''table contained in Investigation 4'''.
==== Steps ====
# Create the VM as you did with the ''centos2'' virtual machine, specifying a network install as before, except:#* In step 2 of 5, after entering but specify the kickstart location under the URL "options section" for the installation source, click on the '''URL Options''' controlnetwork install.#* Enter What do you think is the Kickstart URL locationpurpose of this kickstart file?
# Observe the installation. How is it different from booting from an optical disc?
# Complete the installation. Record the time taken to install, and compare this to the time taken by the previous installations.
# What happens when the installation is finished?
# Take a look at the kickstart file (eg. view url in a webj-browser) to determine the root password as well as the name and password for the first user account.
# Boot the virtual machine and log in (use the user ID and password information from the previous step). Compare the experience to the first time you booted the other virtual machines. Record this information in the '''table contained in Investigation 4'''.
