{{Admon/caution | Caution! | Before making any changes to == Create a new virtual machine ==# It doesn't matter whether you use the Fedora Live CD or 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 configuration, backup the original configuration files into the <code>/backups</code> directory"Use all space" should take care of that.}}

'''Complete == LVM/fstab ==# Add two more drives to your virtual machine, 1GB each.# Add your new drives to the following tasks 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 system (4 points for each completed task)regular user.# Aso make sure lv_extra is not mounted automatically at boot.'''

'''Research on your Fedora system # Verify the integrity of a package using <code>rpm</code> to come up with sets see if any of commands its files have been altered since installation. (you will be asked to accomplish demonstrate this when your assignment is marked)# Add the following tasks [http://rpmfusion.org/ rpmfusion.org] repository to the yum configuration. (5 points for each completed taskyou will be asked to demonstrate installing a package from the rpmfusion repository when your assignment is marked)'''

#Display a list of all the files under == Alternate Software Installation == Review the <code>/homeyum group*</code> directory commands and its sub-directories that have been created or modified within use them to: # Find and install the XFCE dektop environment discussed in the last 2 hoursfollowing article: [http://www.osnews.com/story.php/5478/XFce-4--A-Refreshingly-Solid-Desktop XFCE Review]#Display a list Do the rest of all the files under assignment (including the assignment submission) while running XFCE. Review the <procedures for compiling and installing software from source code>/etc</and use them to:# Download and extract the source code> directory for ISO Master.# Compile and all its sub-directories that have been created or modified today install it (since midyou will need gtk2-nightdevel installed).#Display Now run it and have a list look at the Help/About dialog box. You will have to change the contents of all that box.# Edit the file about.c in the source you use earlier, and change "An application for editing ISO9660 images based on the bkisofs access library and the GTK2 GUI toolkit." to "An application used by YOURNAME for OPS235 Assignment 1".# Compile and install the application again, exactly the files under same way you did the <code>/var</code> directory first time. Your change should be simple enough that complicated bugs are unlikely. == Install a second Linux distribution as a Virtual Machine == * Create another virtual machine.* The virtual machine name and all its subthe hostname for the machine must be your learn user ID followed by -mint. For example asmith15-directories mint* Install Linux Mint in the new virtual machine. == Submission == '''Due date:''' When you are ready for your assignment #1 to be marked, call over your instructor.

Assignments submitted after that will receive a list grade of 0, but must still be completed satisfactorily in order to pass the course. '''Ready to show:''' open terminal windows having run the commands necessary to show all the files under required items in the rubric below. It is ok to switch windows and virtual machines while submitting your assignment, but you should not need to run any commands. If you have questions about the <code>assignment - please wait until everyone's assignment is submitted and ask your question after that. == Rubric == {| class="wikitable" border="1"!
