Introduction
This tutorial was put together to provide step-by-step instructions for installing
the GEFSOC LINUX computational
server.
The tutorial was assembled by photographing screen shots from an actual
LINUX Fedora installation. The quality of the photographs varies but the images
should be clear enough to read and understand the steps necessary to complete
the installation.
The user may find that there some differences due to the hardware configuration
of the system they are installing. If they do run into differences, they are
encouraged to consult their documentation and users manuals and proceed
cautiously.
Installation CDs
One potential issue you will have to resolve is to make the installation CDs.
The CDs that you received for the Fedora Installation actually contain the image
files (.ico files) for the actual
CDs that are needed. That means that you will have to use the .ico files on the
CDs to create the installation CDs needed.
Consult your CD burning software for details on how to do this. Most if not all
CD burning software has this capability.
Booting from CD
After you create your installation CDs, you will need to reboot the LINUX server
from CD #1. If the computer is not currently configured to boot from CD, then
you will need to change the BIOS settings so that it will boot from CD.
After it is configured to boot from CD, simply put CD #1 into the CD drive, and
then reboot your computer. The first screen that you should see is on the next
page.
