==Investigation 1: How to Perform a Fedora DVD Install on Your Removable Hard Drive ==
=== Part 1: simple things ===
# Insert your '''removable SATA hard disk''' into the drive tray.
<li>Select the default '''keyboard layout''' and '''Basic Storage Devices''' in the following installation screens.</li>
<li>Set your hostname (name of the computer) to <big>'''f17host'''</big> (one word, no space, all lowercase).</li>
<li>Set your time zone to '''Toronto'''. Note that the system (BIOS) clock is set to local time, not UTC.</li> <li>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!").</li> <li>Select '''Use All Space''', to have the entire disk for the current Fedora16 OS.</li>
</ol>
<ol>
<li>Select '''Create Custom Layout''', we don't want to use the Fedora default setup now.</li>
<li value="13">When prompted, make certain to select '''Fresh Install''' in order to erase any previous contents of the hard disk.</li>
<li>You will be prompted to confirm the options that you have chosen prior to performing the DVD install. If you are not certain, you can "Go Back". As soon as you are satisfied with your selections, then click '''Write Changes to Disk'''.</li>
'''Answer the Investigation 3 observations / questions in your lab log book.'''
