#Insert your HDD into the docking bay of a PC in the lab and boot the computer using your installation DVD. If possible try to use the same PC for this course for the rest of the semester. Some PCs may be configured with slight hardware variations from others which may cause problems when moving your HDD from one system to another.
#Most modification is now perform through a single summary screen. Use it to customize your installation following these guidelines:
#*set Set Date & Time#*'''Turn on networking''' and use '''your Seneca ID''' as the '''hostname to your Seneca username'''.#*Under software selection, choose '''Server with gui''', and ensure you enable the software package '''KDE''' (located on the right-hand-side).
#*For installation destination, select your drive (not the one internal to the PC), and select the option to manually configure partitioning.
#**Delete any old partitions.
#**Choose Click the option link to '''create partitions automatically ''' (this will give a typical layout with /, /boot, /boot/efi, /home, etc).#**Free up space by shrinking the '''/home ''' partition. Since your machine will have far fewer users and more virtual machines than a typical installation, we will need that space elsewhere.#**Create a new logical volume for '''/var /lib/libvirt/images''' and give it the space made available by shrinking /home (You will need enough space for 6 virtual machines at 8GB each). You may wish to keep some extra space left unassigned in case you need some space later, but the majority of the space you will need will be for ''/var/lib/libvirt/images''.#**Make certain that the existing partitions have the file system type '''ext4''' (not xfs).
#During the installation process you will also have the opportunity to create users.
#*set the root password
#*create a '''user account''' named with '''your learn Seneca ID'''
#After completing the installation, remove the DVD and reboot from your HDD.
