# Create the VM (called '''fedora2''') as you did with the ''fedora1'' virtual machine, except:
#* In '''step 1 of 5''', set the installation type to '''Network Install (HTTP, FTP, or NFS)'''.
#* In '''step 2 of 5''', provide the location of the software source by providing the URL http://belmont.senecac.on.ca/fedora/releases/19/Fedora/x86_64/os/ . Also Select the system to automatically detect OS type and version. Did it work? If it didn't work, you can move backwards to a previous screen and then manually select the appropriate OS type and Linux version.
#* In '''step 3 of 5''', select the appropriate RAM.
#* In '''step 4 of 5''', set the hard-drive space to '''20GB''' (<u>NOT</u> 15 GB!)
# Take a look at the '''kickstart''' file by clicking on the link in a web-browser (using the URL you entered) and search for "'''password'''" (you may have to search for this pattern a couple of times). Determine the '''root password''' as well as the '''regular username 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.
# You can shutdown your text-based fedora3 VM by issuing the following Linux command (as root): <code>'''shutdown'''</code> or <code>'''halt'''</code>. Try to wait a least 2 minutes to see if the VM complete shuts-down. Only force a shutdown if absolutely necessary.
# Why do you think you have installed both graphical and text-based VMs for this course?
# Record this information in the '''table contained in Investigation 4'''.
