We want you to install Ubuntu and set up the network manually entering in your fixed IP address, your correct host name and domain. In addition we will manually partition your file system. We will still create the same file system as you would get with an automated install, but in the real world you may need to understand how to create your own file system layout. After the Initial Install We will install the Ubuntu Desktop meta package (Gnome 2.18 and Xorg) as well as properly configure this to work with your particular hardware by installing the xserver­xorg­video intel package.

Before we do this we’ll do a number of other exercises as well. You will specify a user name and password of your choosing. One of the exercises will include creating a user named “admin” and a password we’ll specify in class. If you have questions during installation ask your instructor or an assistant. Installing Ubuntu Step 7 If you can press “Cancel” in time please do so, otherwise see the screen in Step 8 and choose to “Go Back” to manually configure your network. Step 14 The hostname is what you should have on your first page of this installation guide. And, remember to use lowercase characters. Step 16 Your machines likely already have partitions on them. If this is the case you need to delete each individual partition first, then you can create partitions. Here is a sample of deleting one partition. Repeat this until all partitions are deleted: Now repeat 16 through 18 until you have no partitions left. Then go on to step 19. Step 20 Step 21 Your partition size is likely to be different. Probably 40 GB. Step 23 Again, your disk size is different than what’s in the dialogue on this screen. Choose a size that leaves 1.0 GB of space for SWAP. If you have a 40.0 GB drive, then enter “39.0 GB”, as shown below, is what you want to do.
