==== Steps ====
# Create the VM as you did with the ''fedora2'' virtual machine, specifying a network install as before, except:
#* In step 2 of 5, after entering the URL for the installation source, click on the '''URL Options''' control.
#* Enter the Kickstart URL: http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/~chris.tyler/fedora16-vda-ks.cfg
# Observe the installation. How is it different from booting from an optical disc (CD/DVD)?
# 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 (using the URL you entered) to <u>determine </u> 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'''.
# Repeat the commands from step 2 and notice any changes.
# Stop the ''fedora3'' virtual machine: <code>virsh shutdown fedora3</code>
{{Admon/note|Virtual Machine Does not Shutdown from Command|If the Virtual machine fails to shutdown from the <code>virsh shutdown</code> command, then you can go to the '''Virtual Machine manager''' and '''halt''' or '''shutdown''' within the VM itself.. You'll want to avoid a forced shutdown since those are equivalent to yanking the cord out of the wall on a physical machine!|}}
# Confirm that ''fedora3'' has been shut down.
# Execute this command: <code>virsh dumpxml fedora3 >fedora3.xml</code>
