=OPS235 Lab 1: GNU/Linux Installation - Fedora 16=
==Introduction==
:* In this lab, you are going to install the Fedora (GNU/Linux Distribution) to your removable hard disk from your burned DVD.
:* Although this will be a simple install, this Fedora Operating System will be a platform for other Virtual Machine Fedora 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 Fedora16 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.
==Objectives==
#Perform a GNU/Linux installation using the Fedora 16 distribution
#Investigate information during and after the Fedora 16 installation
#Perform an upgrade after a recent installation
==Required Materials (Bring to All Labs)==
* '''Fedora 16 LIVE CD''' - You can burn this onto a CD-R in the Open Lab
* '''Fedora 16 x_64 Installation DVD''' - You can burn this onto a DVD-R in the Open Lab (or burn image onto a DVD+R if you are using the Freedom Toaster).
* '''SATA Hard Disk''' (in removable disk tray)
* '''USB Memory Stick''' (minimum 64M)
