→Investigation 1: How do you install Fedora?
#* Language - English
#* Keyboard Configuration - U.S. English
#* Type of devices: Basic Storage Devices
#* There should only be one storage drive listed - select it
#* If you get a warning that the drive may need to be initialized, it is because your drive is new and contains no partitition table. Select "Re-Initialize"
#* Set your hostname to - f13host (one word, no space, all lowercase)
#* Root Password: enter a password of your own choosing. Pick one that is really, really hard to guess to protect your system. (Recommendation: use the first letter and all the punctuation from a favorite phrase or song verse. For example, "To be or not to be, that is the question!" could become the password "Tbontb,titq!").
#* Disk Partition Setup - Specify a Custom Layout, and then set up the installation with this configuration:
#** Find your existing 300MB partition (/dev/sda1). Edit this entry so that the mountpoint is /boot and is formatted as an ext3 filesystem.
#** Don't touch the other existing 300M partition (/dev/sda5).
#** Create 4 new partitions LVM Physical Volumes that are 25000 MB in size. Set the File System Type to Physical Volume (LVM). Should be /dev/sda6 to /dev/sda9.#** Use the Create an LVM button to create a Volume Group. Set the Volume Group Name to '''vg_main''' and set the Physical Extent size to '''4MB'''.#** Click on the Add button (within the "Make LVM Volume Group" window) to create a logical volume within that volume group:
#*** Mount point / (root), filesystem type ext4, logical volume name '''root''', size 90GB (90000MB).
#* Say yes to continue without a swap partition.
#* Say yes to format /dev/sda1.
#* Accept Boot Loader defaults.
#* Accept Office and Productivity Graphical Desktop and repository defaults.# Proceed with the installation. '''Note how long it takes to perform the installation.'''# Reboot using the controls on the screen. When the system starts, it will ask you some final configuration optionsquestions.# * Check the License Agreement. What license is used for the Fedora distribution? What activities do have restrictions and obligations?# * Create a user account for yourself using the same name as your learn account.# * Set date and time. Normally, you would want to enable Network Time Protocol, but since we will be experimenting with the networking turned off in later labs, leave it disabled.# * Click on Do Not Send Hardware Profile.# * Finish the post-installation customization, wait for the login screen to appear, and then login to your Learn account.
