Click nextGroup NumberIP AddressHost NameNow we will configure your machine to be able to connect to the network attached storage (NAS), which contains most of the lab files for the semester. This is a windows based machine with half a terabyte of storage. The example programs in the book are located in a file named ece_4110.tgz on the NAS. To connect to this machine we will use SAMBA file transfer utilities. Once connected to samba you will access it just like you would a floppy or CDROM drive. To setup follow the directions below.To Setup the PrinterECE 4110 Internetwork ProgrammingLab 1: Installation of the Linux Operating SystemGroup Number: ________Member Names: _________________________ _________________________ _________________________ _________________________Date Issued: Thursday August 21, 2008Date Due: Wednesday, August 27, 2008Lab Goals Install Red Hat Enterprise Linux Work Station 4.0 Compile and run Stevens book codeSection I: Before we beginWorking in “groups of 2”, follow the attached tutorial and install Linux on your removable hard drive. During TA hours, you will need to obtain from the TA a removable hard drive, a key for the hard drive, and four Red Hat installation CDs. You are to keep the hard drive and the key, you are to return the Red hat CDs before you leave the lab. You may work in the lab anytime the door is unlocked (see hours posted) however TA support hours are much more limited. Check off on Labs must be done during the TA's lab hours. Lab hours are posted on the door and are on the class web site.Do not drop or roughly handle the Hard Drives. If you break it you will be asked to replace it and you will find they cost about $65. If you loose a Hard Drive frame key, it costs $25 because you have to buy an entire removable hard disk frame kit just to get the key. To insert your hard drive into the machine:Slide your drive into the docking bay. Push with your thumb to make sure the contacts are connected, push down the locking handle. Use your key to lock the drive into the bay. If the drive is not locked into the bay, you will not get power to your hard drive.General Warning for the entire quarter:DO NOT TRY TO REMOVE YOUR HARD DRIVE FROM THE MACHINE WHILE IT IS POWERED ON. DO NOT POWER OFF THE MACHINE WHILE LINUX IS RUNNING.Here is the procedure to shut downIn a text terminal:# shutdown -h nowAfter the machine halts use your key to remove the hard drive. DO NOT FORCE THE HANDLE UP WHEN REMOVING THE HARD DRIVE. IF YOU HAVE NOT UNLOCKED THE DRIVE AND YOU PULL HARD YOU CAN BREAK THE PLASTIC RELEASE HANDLE. Unix stores some file states in memory and this stuff needs to be written to the disk before the disk is removed otherwise you may corrupt your disk and have to reinstall LINUX. 1In a graphical X window:Click on the actions icon in the upper left of the screen. Select logout and then shutdown, yes. Do not use cntl alt del to reboot the machine unless you have no choice. There is a chance you will corrupt your hard drive if you do it this way. In the event you try to boot and get the message that you have a corrupt file system you may try to recover by using the command fsck /dev/hda1 and repeat this for each had# your machine uses (this will be hda1, hda2, and hda3 . fsck attempts to find and repair corrupted file systems. Answer yes to all repairs. Section II: InstallationThe purpose of this section of the manual is to show how to install RedHat Linux. This installs linuxkernel 2.6. Installation is a relatively simple procedure due to the windows-like GUI that RedHat provides.*NOTE: The convention of placing the key name in all caps between the ‘<’and ‘>’ symbols will be used throughout this manual.<UP ARROW>This key allows the user to move up within a field.<DOWN ARROW>This key allows the user to move down within a field.<TAB>This key allows the user to move between fields.<ENTER>This key allows the user to select an option.<SPACE>This key allows the user to select an option.The main focus of this section is to ensure you properly install RedHat Linux with the correct packages. The following section will go through the necessary steps of installing RedHat Linux. To boot from the Red Hat CD#1:With no HD in the computer, turn on the power and insert a RH CD #1 into the CD. Turn the power off. Putyour HD in and then turn the power on. This will boot the computer from the CD. Do not add or remove a HD with power turned on.  Just hit enter to get past the main menu. Use tab to move to skip media test Next at welcome screen The language that will be used is English. Just select next.  The keyboard being used is U.S. English. Just select next. IF you are asked, you want to do Install Red Hat Enterprise WS (Fresh) as opposed to modifying a detected already installed version. (This happens when you have a HD with an OS already on it). Have the installer automatically partition for you Remove all partitions on this system Are you sure answer YES Select next on the partitioning screen Boot Loader Screen Select Next.2 Manually configure your machine’s name to groupx.4110.xxx.mininet.org but first see the table of machine names later in this lab to see your correct name. (i.e. for group #1, the first machine should be called group1.4110.011.mininet.org) Choose no firewall and then next and proceed through the warning Select next on language screen Leave Eastern time selected Enter root password as “password” and confirm password is “password” (This makes it easier for TA help throughout the semester, not a good idea in a real network connected to the Internet!) Select Customize the set of packages to be installed, nextIn the package Group Selection Window many items are already selected. Add the following to what is already selected:Servers: Windows File Server Legacy Network ServerDevelopment: Gnome Software DevelopmentLegacy Software DevelopmentSystem: System ToolsWithin System Tools, (click on “details” on the right) scroll down and select ethereal-gnome. Click next About to Install Screen is next, select next Installation takes about 7 minutes and requires you to insert CD#2. After 16 more minutes you will be asked for CD #3. After 9 more minutes you will be asked for CD#4. After 3 more minutes you will be asked for CD#1 again. Then the computer will reboot and you need to remove the CD. After rebooting, on the Graphical Interface (X)
