Investigation 1: How to Perform a Fedora DVD Install on Your Removable Hard Drive
<li>100GB for /var/lib/libvirt/images</li></ul>
<li>Record briefly in your lab logbook what paritions you created of what size and what device names were assigned to them (/dev/sda1, etc.).</li>
</ol>
 
=== Part 3: completing installation ===
 
<ol>
<li>Select in the next screen the '''Graphical Desktop''' applications, and in the additional repositories section (at the bottom) accept the default settings, then proceed. You may look at what's available if you choose "Customize now" but you don't need to customize the software installed at this point.</li>
<li>Add in your lab logbook a brief description of the term "software repository" and what its major purpose serves (what you think it does). We will not add any existing repositories since we are not currently connected to the Internet. Therefore, we will customize the repositories later.</li>
<li>When installation is complete, a screen will confirm completion, and ask the user to remove the DVD, and reboot the computer. Write in your lab log-book the time it took to perform this DVD Fedora install.</li>
<li>Remove the Fedora Installation DVD, and click '''Reboot'''.</li>
</ol>
 
{{Admon/important|Boot-up Issues (Fedora16) in Seneca's Computer labs|Each time you boot from your removable hard drive:
 
:* '''Press the function key F10 and specify the hard disk device to boot'''<br />(eg. SATA drive).
:* If the user is prompted for a password, '''simply press ENTER''' <br />(without typing any password) at the password prompt.

<ol> <li value="21">When the system starts, set or accept the time and date default.</li> <li>Create a user account for yourself using the same name user ID as your learn account, and create a suitable password (do not forget password!).</li>
<li>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'''.</li>
<li> Click on '''Do Not Send Hardware Profile'''.</li>
