Changes

#Download a copy of the Centos 7 installation DVD (64 bit edition) from the Centos web site or belmont. Note: we'll be using the 64 bit version of Centos because all of our lab computers are equiped with Intel 64 bit mainboards and CPUs. We'll also be using a Fedora iso for installing the virtual machines, but you will not need to burn that to a disc. It is faster to download the ISO and install directly from it.

#* '''Seneca's mirror of Centos:''' http://belmont.senecacollege.ca/pub/centos/7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1511.iso<br />(This is very fast, but is only accessible from within Seneca's network - you can't access this from home. You can burn this disc on the machines in the Open Lab.)<br />

#Insert your HDD into the docking bay of a PC in the lab and boot the computer using your installation DVD. If possible try to use the same PC for this course for the rest of the semester. Some PCs may be configured with slight hardware variations from others which may cause problems when moving your HDD from one system to another.

#Most modification is now perform through a single summary screen. Use it to customize your installation following these guidelines:

#*create a '''user account''' named with '''your Seneca ID'''

#After completing the installation, remove the DVD and reboot from your HDD.
