==== Steps ====
# Create the VM (called '''fedora2''') as you did with the ''fedora1'' virtual machine, except:
#* In '''step 1 of 5''', set the installation type to '''Network Install (HTTP, FTP, or NFS)'''.
#* In '''step 2 of 5''', provide the URL http://belmont.senecac.on.ca/fedora/releases/16/Fedora/x86_64/os/
#* In '''step 2 of 5''', set the ''OS Type'' to '''Linux''' and ''Version'' to '''Fedora 16'''.
# Observe the boot process. How is it different from booting from an optical disc (CD/DVD)?
# Start the installation process(make certain to use information in the ''VM Details'' section above). When you get to the disk partitioning step, enable the checkbox labelled '''Review and modify partition layout'''.If an dialog box displays a permissions problem, then click yess to proceed. On the next screen, change the logical volumes as follows:
#* Reduce the size of the root LV to '''8000 MB'''.
#* '''Add a logical volume 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).
#* At some point in the installation, one option is to set the grub password. Record in your lab log-book the purpose of the Grub Boot-loader, and a reason why it could be password protected.
# On the software selection screen, select '''Graphical Desktop'''.
# '''On the same screen, select the "Fedora 16 - x86_64" and the "Fedora 16 - x86_64 - Updates". Leave "Installation Repo" selected. ''DO NOT'' enable the "Test Updates" repository'''.
