{{Admon/caution|Reboot your fedora host|There appears to be an issue with supplying your VM's with a dynamic IP unless the host is restarted after installing "Virtualization". '''Reboot now to avoid this problem.'''}}
# After rebooting your computer system, and logging back into your account, start the graphical tool by selecting the menu options '''Activities'''>'''Applications'''>'''System Tools'''>'''Virtual Machine Manager ''' or by typing the command <code>virt-manager</code>
{{Admon/important|Run virt-manager as a regular user|Running virt-manager as root may not work due to configuration issues.}}

<ol>
<li value="8">'''The virtual machine will now startstar'''t. You will see a window which displays the virtual video card from the VM. It's important to note that the VM can (and often will) run even when this display is not present. 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.</li> <li>Login to the VM and double-click on the : '''Applications'''>'''System Tools'''>'''Install to Hard DriveDisk''' icon. The installation program, similar to the one used when installing Fedora in Lab 2, will appear. You will get a warning at one point during the installation process that the disk "may need to be re-initialized" -- this is simply a warning that the virtual disk is completely blank, and it is safe to select ''Re-initialize drive''.</li>
<li>During the installation process, when prompted for the drive, select "Virtio Block Device", when prompted for the hostname, enter "fedora1", when prompted for the timezone, select ''America/Toronto'', and when asked about storage, select ''Use All Space''. '''Use the default values for all other fields.''' Notice that the installer does not ask you what software should be installed; compare the installation time to the amount of time it took to do your Lab 2 installation.</li>
<li>When the installation is complete, select the menu option System>Shutdown to stop the Live Disc.</li>
