# Create the VM as you did with the ''centos2'' virtual machine, specifying a network install as before, but specify the kickstart location under the "options section" for network install. What do you think is the purpose of this kickstart file?
# Observe the installation. How is it different from booting from an optical disca downloaded image?
# 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 (eg. view url in a webj-browser) to determine 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 steps as you did to '''Answer start the Investigation 1 observations / questions in your lab log book.SSH service''', '''set iptables to accept connections via ssh''', '''test connect between centos2 and c7host''', and '''disable SELinux'''(refer to lab1). == Part 4: Updating the VMs == {| width="40%" align="right" cellpadding="10"|# Remember that centos3 is text- valign="top"|colspan="2"|{{Admon/caution|Never Shutdown Computer During Upgrade|Your computer based interface only (hostno graphics).
