#You should notice there is now a virtual machine (VM) called '''centos1''' that appears in the ''virtual manager'' menu. Double-click on this menu entry.
#Click on the '''Play''' button to start the centos1 VM. When prompted, login to your regular user account.
#You will get a warning at one point during the installation process that the disk "May contain data" or "may need to be re-initialized" -- this is simply a warning that the virtual disk is completely blank, and it is safe to proceed with the installation.
#During the installation process, when prompted for a storage device, first select '''Specialized Storage Devices''', and then select the '''Virtio Block Device''' option.
#When prompted for the hostname, enter '''centos1''', and when prompted for the timezone, select '''Toronto - Eastern Time Ontario'''
#When asked about storage, select '''Use All Space'''. '''Use the default values for all other fields.''' Notice that the installer does not ask you what software should be installed; compare the installation time to the amount of time it took to do your Lab 2 installation. Record this information in the '''table contained in Investigation 4'''.
#When the installation is complete, click on the '''reboot''' button at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.
#Start the VM from its disk image. This can be done graphically by selecting the Virual machine name, and then clicking on the '''Open''' button, and then click the '''play''' button when the next screen appears (or by selecting Virtual Machine>Run from the virtual machine menu). You will get the ''Firstboot'' configuration questions during the boot process (asking you to create a user, set the date and time, and ignore the kdump out-of-memory warning). Make certain that the VM has a network interface connection (i.e. look at network applet on the top panel). Create a user with the same name as your Matrix account.
#Login using the new user account.
