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.

:* '''"Turn-off" Linux Kernel security enhancements''' to allow easier internal networking connections (to be reactivated in a later lab)
