NETW240 Week 1 Lab-1B:
Installing Fedora 14 Linux on Your Laptop or Home PC
Note: Your instructor will advise you if a DVD containing the VirtualBox installation program and Fedora 14 is available for checkout.
Task 1: Download and Install VirtualBox
Direct your browser to www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/virtualbox/downloads, and click on the link for the Windows (32/64 bit) version of VirtualBox.
Download the VirtualBox installation program. Open Windows Explorer and double-click on the saved program to begin the installation. Install the programs with all the default settings.
Task 2: Download Fedora Linux Release 14
Open your browser to http://archive.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/14/Fedora/i386/iso and click on Fedora-14-i386-DVD.iso to download the Fedora installation image.
Note: If you would like to install the 64-bit version of Fedora, open your browser to http://archive.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/14/Fedora/x86_64/iso and click on Fedora-14-x86_64-DVD.iso to download the Fedora installation image.
Task 3: Activate Hardware Virtualization on your Computer
Your computer may or may not support Hardware Virtualization. It is primarily a feature of the CPU.
Click on the link below to download a free Microsoft Utility that can check to see whether your processor (CPU) supports virtualization and whether it is activated. http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=592 Even if your CPU supports virtualization, it must be activated in your CMOS boot settings. As your computer boots up, press the key that opens CMOS setup menus. The key depends on the computer and the BIOS manufacturer. It may be F2, F10, or, on some computers, the Delete key. The key that opens CMOS is very briefly displayed as your computer boots up. When you see the message, press the key immediately. Browse the menus and look for a virtualization option. Below, you can see
