→Installation instructions for Centos 7
# Download and burn on a DVD a copy of the Centos 7 installation DVD (64 bit edition) from the Centos web site or the Belmont server.<br>'''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, and any computer you bought in the last few years for yourself will be 64bit as well.
#* '''Seneca's mirror of Centos:''' http://belmont.senecacollege.ca/pub/centos/7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1708.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>
#* '''Outside Seneca College link (available from any Internet connection):<br>''' http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/centos/7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1708.iso<br /><br># You need to refer to your OPS235 notes in order to install your host machine. <br>There are two unique labs how to perform this depending if you are using either a removable hard drive (old method) or a Solid State Drive (SSD - preferred method). Below are separate links to OPS235 lab 1 notes based on your type of hard drive: [ [https://wiki.cdot.senecacollege.ca/wiki/OPS235_Lab_1_-_CentOS7_-_HD2 Removable SATA Drive] ] [ [https://wiki.cdot.senecacollege.ca/wiki/OPS235_Lab_1_-_CentOS7_-_SSD2 Solid State Drive (SSD - preferred)] ]
{{Admon/tip |Boot order|Some of our machines' boot order is configured to be Harddrive first, DVD second. Which means you won't be able to boot from the DVD if you already have an operating system installed on your drive.}}
