| == What you need to start: ==
| |
| | |
| *[http://www.ubuntu.com/products/GetUbuntu/download#lts Ubuntu 6.06 LTS server CD]
| |
| *A test x86 desktop computer, keyboard, monitor, mouse, and firewalled internet connection.
| |
| *One hour of time. (seriously!)
| |
| | |
| == Directions: ==
| |
| | |
| === Install Ubuntu ===
| |
| Start computer and use F12 to boot from CD.
| |
| | |
| Select '''Install to hard drive'''.
| |
| | |
| Select your '''language''', '''country''', and '''keyboard layout''' (i.e. English, United States, American English)
| |
| | |
| Select '''autodetect network''', if you have DHCP. Should be a static IP in a development or production environment.
| |
| | |
| Enter your servername (i.e. moodletest)
| |
| | |
| Select to '''manually edit the partition table'''. I’m doing my testing on a standard 40GB harddrive and will modify these sizes for production.
| |
| | |
| :<table>
| |
| :<tr><td>/boot</td><td>ext3</td><td>200MB</td><td>bootable</td><td>(needs to be on the first part of the drive)</td></tr>
| |
| :<tr><td>/</td><td>ext3</td><td>10GB</td><td></td><td>(files are relatively static)</td></tr>
| |
| :<tr><td>swap</td><td></td><td>4GB</td><td></td><td>(4x if you don't have much memory, 1x if you have gobs of memory)</td></tr>
| |
| :<tr><td>/var</td><td>ext3</td><td>26GB</td><td></td><td>(variable content – uses rest of the drive)</td></tr>
| |
| :</table>
| |
| | |
| Select your '''timezone'''. (i.e. Central)
| |
| | |
| Set clock to '''Universal Time'''.
| |
| | |
| Enter Administrators '''full name'''. (i.e. Joe Smith)
| |
| | |
| Enter '''account name'''. (i.e. joesmith)
| |
| | |

| | |
| Let the computer restart.
| |
