You can use this setup guide to help with installing. But make sure you do the following steps from our class, especially for the partition information sizes.

• Press F12 to get the Boot Menu
• Place your DVD into the drive
• Select CD/DVD from the menu
• Select to check the disk/install. Let it go to 3% percent, to make sure the disc is readable in the drive on the machine. You can press ESC to abort the check and proceed with the install.

• Select English/English for the language and keyboard.
• Set the time and date.

• Select to install the software with a Base Environment of Minimal Install.
  
  
• The Instatlation Destination should be your USB drive if using the standard school machine. If using VirtualBox, you will have a virtual machine with it's own hard drive. If using a machine in the back of the room, call me over at this point.

• Select to manually partition the drive.
• You may need to remove the existing partitions on the USB drive.

Important, make sure you have enough space on the drive. If you are using an 8GB disk, please check with me to make sure you have free space.

• Now you can adjust sizes of the partitions to fit on your drive. If you have a drive larger than 8GB and want to use the drive on your Windows or Mac for additional space, you can leave an extra partition free. We are leaving some free space some additonal space for use in the lab later on, so in any event do not use all all the partiton space on your drive. Leave at least 1GB free on an 8GB drive, and a 4 GB or more on larger drives.
  
  • The /boot partition should be Device Type: Standard and File System EXT4
• swap, /, and /home partitions should be Device Type: LVM with EXT4 as the file system. Their Volume Group as centos)
• Make sure all partitons, exept for swap, have a mount point.
• Please make sure that you are using LVM/EXT4 for your system, otherwise you will have issues later when we resize the system.

Create the following partitions:

Mount Point: /boot
Desired Capacity: 1GB or 500MB if a 8GB drive, maybe 250mb if you have a small drive.

• Before you begin the install, please show me on the school machine what the destination of the install is.
