# '''Step 4 of 5:''' This next step creates a disk file that will be used to simulate the virtual machine's disk drive. Select a size of '''10 GB''' and click '''Forward''' to proceed.
# '''Step 5 of 5:''' Enter the virtual machine name: '''centos1''' , review the VM information, and click '''Finish'''.<br><br>
#'''The virtual machine will now start'''- start timing your installation and making notes for '''centos1''' virtual machine in the installation comparison chart in lab2 logbook. The virtual machine is running from the live disc at this point, and no software has been installed on the ''hard drive'' of the virtual machine. The point of a live disk is to allow you to test the distribution to see whether you like it without installing to the harddrive hard-drive first.#Double-click '''Install to Hard Drive'''. The installation program, similar to the one used when installing CentOS in Lab 1, will appear. You basically perform the same installation operations for example Date & Time, Network & Hostname, and Installation Destination.Make certain to use the hostname: '''centos1''' as opposed to ''c7host'') for this installation. (with a few slight differences).#You will get a warning at one point during the installation process that the disk "May contain data" or "may need to be re-initialized" -- this is simply a warning that the virtual disk is completely blank, and it is safe to proceed with the installation.
#During the installation process, when prompted for a storage device, first select '''Specialized Storage Devices''', and then select the '''Virtio Block Device''' option.
#When prompted for the hostname, enter '''centos1''', and when prompted for the timezone, select '''Toronto - Eastern Time Ontario'''
