    The document provides instructions for Lab 2 of an OPS235 class on installing Linux. It outlines that students must get sign-off from the instructor on completing Lab 1 before proceeding. For Lab 2, students need a hard disk with partitions from Lab 1, a USB stick, and a Fedora 13 installation DVD. They will install Fedora 13 using LVM to create physical volumes, a volume group, and logical volumes. After installation, students investigate commands to determine packages installed, the host name, kernel version, and running processes to understand the Linux system configuration.

    Required materials for Lab #2

    Installing Fedora 13

    LVM / Performing Updates

    Lab 1 Instructor Sign-Off

    Since these labs build upon each previous lab, students


    cannot proceed to next lab without instructor checking,
    and Signing Off on the lab.

    Follow the instructions at the end of Lab 1 prior to


    calling the instructor over for checking for Sign-Off.

    You may have to repeat some parts (like placing


    image on desktop) since you are working with the
    Fedora 13 LIVE CD.
    Instructor may ask you to re-do parts and show
    instructor prior to sign-off.

    Preparation for Lab #2

    HardDisk (removable drive) minimum 160 Gb with partitions


    created from Lab 1.

    USB Stick (2 GB or greater)

    Fedora 13 Installation DVD.

    Lab 2 Log Book, extra paper to make notes.

    When Installing Fedora 13, it is important that you properly


    created the partitions from Lab #1

    /dev/sda1300MB(primary,LinuxNative)
    /dev/sda2therestoftheharddisk(extended)
    /dev/sda5300MB(logical,LinuxNative)

    LVM

    Stands for Logical Volume Manager

    Can be used to have single file system span many hard


    disks, and allows disk partitions easily resized.

    According to Wikipedia, "creates an illusion of


    continuity and ease-of-use for managing
    hard-drive replacement, repartitioning, and backups.
    Volume Group 1

    Logical Volumes

    LVM

    You will be creating Physical Volumes, a Volume


    Group, and Logical Volumes using LVM within the
    Fedora 13 installation process...

    Investigation 1

    What is LVM?

    Why are we using LVM when installing Fedora 13?

    How long did install take?

    Investigation 2

    What are commands to determine how many packages were installed:

    grep

    rpm

    Why would it be important to determine number of applications


    installed?

    What are other commands to get:

    Name of host

    Kernel version

    All Processes running on Linux server

    Do you have any ideas why it is useful to determine the name of host
    and the Linux Kernel version?
