To install an linux base operating system that will do what we want :)

A good understanding of how partitioning will may be needed, and a understanding of how IDE Pata hard drives work.

Last understanding of the CMOS setup and how it works on your machine.

do a complete install over the whole hard-drive. For more advances users this is where you choose 
to partition part of the hard-drive.

what other computers will see over a network. Default user name and computer name get the named
