Delete all of the the partitions that it allows you to (including the
VOLgroup partition) You will not get by with the previous user's partitioning
layout.
Create the following Partitions:
/boot 200 megs set as primary
/ 1000 megs set as primary
/home 1000 megs set as primary
/opt 5000 megs
/tmp 1000 megs
/usr 6000 megs
/var 5000 megs
/usr/local 250-1000 megs
swap 1024 megs
these are not too important but be sure that you leave at least 1 Gig free
Be sure to leave about 1 gig that is not partitioned so that we can make another
partition or 2 in the future (more about that later)
GRUB will be installed
Install the boot loader on the MBR (but GRUB's configs are in /boot/grub/grub.conf and other files are there too )
Set a machine name (I just entered the host portion but I
don't know if that is correct or not)
Choose the "America Chicago" time zone
set a robust root password
Choose customize selection and get rid of Gnome and add KDE
do not install any of the services we do that when we go to run them
Finishing the Install:
alt F# - will take you through the different consoles and
several of them are funning during the install process. For instance my
install hung up and I went to console 2 and saw that there was a zip
drive in and it was reading it so I typed "eject /dev/hdb" and the
install continued after the Zip was ejected.
reboot after the packages are installed
select Firewall Enabled at first boot
I had to edit the default runlevel in /etc/inittab to 5
That's basically it
What you will show me for your lab grade:
An installed system that is ready to begin working on
Machine boots with a Display Manager and KDE
Prove that you have the BIOS protected
prove that you can ping localhost
hand me the sheet that has the BIOS passwords and the root password
You will be ready to start more configuration next class session
Your system documentation will be updated showing the install process by Next week at this time for A lab worth 10
points by the end of class that class period
