+ | ======Project: | ||
+ | This project is for HPC fundamentals and is anticipated to be completed by the end of the tutor session which is about 3 hours. | ||
+ | =====Objectives===== | ||
+ | For this project I wanted to learn how to set up a BSD desktop | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====Prerequisites===== | ||
+ | In order to successfully accomplish/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | *for this project we needed a computer desktop, keyboard, mouse, internet connection | ||
+ | =====Background===== | ||
+ | For this project I am going to learn how to install a desktop for linux, this will enable to have a base computer to complete more projects with this machine | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====Scope===== | ||
+ | This project is pretty straight forward and hope to just accomplish the knowledge of setting up a linux desktop | ||
+ | =====Attributes===== | ||
+ | I just would like to know all of the features that go along with setting up a desktop for linux and hope to have this be a base for future projects | ||
+ | =====Procedure===== | ||
+ | These were the steps taken to complete this project | ||
+ | |||
+ | the computer that was used was an Dell Optiplex GX620 duel adapter for the video | ||
+ | the specs: | ||
+ | 1 gig ram | ||
+ | 160GB sata HD harddrive | ||
+ | Intel Pentium D processor | ||
+ | used a duel adapter for the video | ||
+ | |||
+ | Steps: | ||
+ | install linux using PXE network boot | ||
+ | go into the system bios using f2 at startup | ||
+ | move cursor to the onboard devices and select it/ then integrated NIC/ then make sure you enable boot with PXE | ||
+ | press Ctrl/ | ||
+ | hit f12 upon startup to go into the boot menu (make sure you are connected to the network) | ||
+ | then choose onboard network controller | ||
+ | |||
+ | In the lair boot menu | ||
+ | first make sure you know the kind of processor that you are using | ||
+ | then choose either 64 bit AMD or 32 bit 1386 (we chose 32 bit 1386) | ||
+ | then click Debian/1386 netboot | ||
+ | then install squeeze/ | ||
+ | then select desired language, country and keymap | ||
+ | then configure the network | ||
+ | then install the grub boot loader | ||
+ | the choose continue | ||
+ | choose a hostname and domain name of your choice | ||
+ | then select debian mirror country- scroll to the top and choose enter info manually | ||
+ | enter host name- mirrorand hit enter | ||
+ | mirror debian archive/ debian then hit enter | ||
+ | on select proxy screen leave blank and hit enter | ||
+ | enter root password iinfo and user account info of your choosing | ||
+ | then enter desired time zone | ||
+ | select partition- fat 32(windows) | ||
+ | then select use guided- use entire disk | ||
+ | then select the harddrive to partition | ||
+ | next select the partitioning scheme- All files in one partition | ||
+ | select finish partitioning and click yes to save changes to disk | ||
+ | once the harddrive is completely partitioned, | ||
+ | then select software to install then hit continue and you are done!!! | ||
+ | Matt you were just schooled on installation and thankyou for coming to the show HAHAHAHA!!!!! | ||
+ | =====Code===== | ||
+ | Upon completion of the project, if there is an applicable collection of created code, place a copy of your finished code within < | ||
+ | |||
+ | <code c> | ||
+ | /* | ||
+ | * hello.c - A sample " | ||
+ | | ||
+ | * written by NAME for COURSE on DATE | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | * compile with: | ||
+ | | ||
+ | * | ||
+ | * execute with: | ||
+ | | ||
+ | */ | ||
+ | |||
+ | #include < | ||
+ | |||
+ | int main() | ||
+ | { | ||
+ | printf(" | ||
+ | return(0); | ||
+ | } | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====Execution===== | ||
+ | Again, if there is associated code with the project, and you haven' | ||
+ | |||
+ | <cli> | ||
+ | lab46: | ||
+ | Hello, World! | ||
+ | lab46: | ||
+ | </ | ||
+ | |||
+ | =====Reflection===== | ||
+ | This was pretty straight forward and I enjoyed learing how to install a linux machine! | ||
+ | =====References===== | ||
+ | In performing this project, the following resources were referenced: | ||
+ | |||
+ | * URL1 | ||
+ | * URL2 | ||
+ | * URL3 (provides useful information on topic) | ||
+ | * URL4 | ||
+ | |||
+ | Generally, state where you got informative and useful information to help you accomplish this project when you originally worked on it (from Google, other wiki documents on the Lab46 wiki, etc.) |
