You need to install a Linux OS to be a host or "platform" to install and use other Linux VMs (Virtual Machines) during this course. It is important to have a correctly installed host from the installation procecure; otherwise, you may experience problems when performing future labs throughout this course. The <u>main objectives</u> for this lab include:
::* '''Correctly install the CentOS 7 FULL INSTALL DVD''' (not LIVE DVD) on your removable hard disk.
::* '''Record installation characteristics of Correctly install the CentOS 7 FULL INSTALLDVD''' in a chart (contained in lab2 logbook chartnot LIVE DVD) to compare with other installation methods performed in lab2on your removable hard disk.
::* '''Verify correct settingsRecord installation characteristics of CentOS 7 FULL INSTALL''' prior in a chart (contained in lab2 logbook chart) to proceeding compare with host other installation stagesmethods performed in lab2.
::* '''Obtain Linux server information after installationVerify correct settings''' prior to create a software asset report for later accessproceeding with host installation stages.
:* '''Obtain Linux server information after installation''' to create a software asset report for later access. :* '''"Turn-off" Linux Kernel security enhancements''' to allow easier internal networking connections (to be reactivated in a later lab)
