Lab Installing Linux For Servers

Kickstart:
You will need to run the kickstart program and setup a server installation for the type of server you want to run as a server administrator for your make believe company. You will need to tell me why you choose the configuration that you have setup and how it will work best for your servers.

Kickstart is on page 63 in your book 3rd edition.

For a review on how to setup hard drive partitions please read pages. 58-69

Remember to setup your partitions according to your server configuration.
/boot partition is for the Linux kernels and this partition is where you boot the Linux system.
/ partition is the root directory which contains all of the files in the computer.
/home partition is where users personal directories and files are stored.
/opt partition is a special partition that is required by some programs out in the industry such as oracle.
/etc partition holds configuration files and logs so breaking this off as another directory can help guard against run away log files that eat up an entire system.
/var partition is where the WAN servers operating files are going to be stored such as web pages, web accounts etc.
/usr account is where programs and other such programs can be stored.

Installation of the system is outlined in chapters 2 and 3 in your book.
