== Create a new virtual machine ==
# It doesn't matter whether you use the a CentOS Live CD image file or Full Installation DVD for this.
# The virtual machine name and the hostname for the machine must be your learn user ID.
# The regular user you create during installation must also be your learn user ID.
# Make sure that LVM is used for your new system.
The rest of this assignment should be done after the installation is completed successfully.
 
== LVM/fstab ==
 
# Add two more drives to your virtual machine, 1GB each.
# Add your new drives to the existing volume group.
# Create a new logical volume using all available space in the volume group, call it lv_extra
# Create a directory named "extra" in your home directory.
# Make a change to your fstab so that lv_extra can be mounted on that new directory when the command "mount /home/youruser/extra" is issued.
# Make sure that the mount command can be issued successfully by your regular user.
# Aso make sure lv_extra is not mounted automatically at boot.
== Package Management ==
# Verify the integrity of a package using <code>rpm</code> to see if any of its files have been altered since installation. (you will be asked to demonstrate this when your assignment is marked, it doesn't matter which package you choose)
# Add the [http://rpmfusion.org/ rpmfusion.org] repository to the yum configuration. (you will be asked to demonstrate installing a package from the rpmfusion repository when your assignment is marked)
# Add the [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL EPEL] repository to the yum configuration. (this one has XFCE for CentOS 67)
== Alternate Software Installation ==
# Compile and install the application again, exactly the same way you did the first time. Your change should be simple enough that complicated bugs are unlikely.
== Install a second Second Linux distribution Distribution as a Virtual Machine ==
* Create another virtual machine(Your Choice).
* The virtual machine name and the hostname for the machine must be your learn user ID followed by -mint. For example asmith15-mint
* Install Linux Mint in the new virtual machine.
