:* In this lab, you are going to install the Fedora CentOS (GNU/Linux Distribution) to your removable hard disk from your burned DVD.

:* Although this will be a simple install, this Fedora CentOS Operating System will be a platform for other Virtual Machine Fedora CentOS installations (in future labs). Therefore, it is very important that you take the time to carefully read and perform ALL steps, and take time to check your work.

:* After performing the Fedora17 CentOS DVD installation, you will collect baseline information about your Fedora GNU/Linux system, and perform some post installation configuration to prepare your system for the remainder of the labs.
