Experiment No.

- 1
Aim: - Install Linux on a PC having some other previously installed operating
system. All Operating Systems should be usable.

To install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 on your computer, take the following steps:
Step 1:- Right Click on My Computer and go to Manage option

Step 2:- Click on Disk Management option and delete a partition to make it free for RHEL
installation.
Step 3:- Insert the media that you’ll use to boot the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 installation
program. It can be the first Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 CD or DVD.

Step 4:- Restart the system.

Step 5:- When you see the boot prompt press ENTER key to install in graphical mode.

Step 6:- Installation Method: - Choose your installation method (like Local CDROM) and
press OK
Step 7:- Press Skip to skip the Media test and start the installation.

Step 8:- Welcome Screen:- The Welcome screen does not prompt you for any input. From this
screen you can access the Release Notes for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.0.0 by clicking on the
Release Notes button. Click on the Next button to continue.
Step 9:- Language Selection: - Using your mouse, select a language to use for the installation.
Once you select the appropriate language, click Next to continue.

Step 10:- Keyboard Configuration:- Using your mouse, select the correct layout type (for
example, U.S. English) for the keyboard you would prefer to use for the installation and as the
system default (refer to the figure below).Once you have made your selection, click Next to
continue.
Step 11:- Enter the Installation Number: - Enter your Installation Number. This number will
determine the package selection set that is available to the installer. If you choose to skip
entering the installation number you will be presented with a basic selection of packages to
install later on.

Step 12:- Create Custom Layout:-

Click Next once you have made your selections to proceed.


Step 13:- Partitioning Your System: - If you chose to create a custom layout, you must tell the
installation program where to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This is done by defining mount
points for one or more disk partitions in which Red Hat Enterprise Linux is installed. You may
also need to create and/or delete partitions at this time.

Step 14:- Adding Partitions: - To add a new partition, select the New button. Add the desired
partitions.
Step 15:- Boot Loader Configuration: - To boot the system without boot media, you usually
need to install a boot loader. A boot loader is the first software program that runs when a
computer starts. It is responsible for loading and transferring control to the operating system
kernel software. The kernel, in turn, initializes the rest of the operating system. Once you’ve
configured your partitions, set up a boot loader. If you select No Boot Loader Will Be Installed,
you’ll need to use a third-party boot loader such as Partition Magic or Microsoft’s NTLDR.
Unless you want to set up a Boot Loader Password or Configure Advanced Boot Loader Options,
click Next.

Step 16:- Network Configuration: - Configure your connection to the network. If you don’t
want the DHCP server to assign a hostname (or you don’t have a DHCP server), you can assign
it manually, as shown here. Click Next to move on.
Step 17:- Time Zone Configuration: - Set your time zone by selecting the city closest to your
computer's physical location. Click on the map to zoom in to a particular geographical region of
the world.
From here there are two ways for you to select your time zone:
• Using your mouse, click on the interactive map to select a specific city (represented by a
yellow dot). A red X appears indicating your selection.
• You can also scroll through the list at the bottom of the screen to select your time zone. Using
your mouse, click on a location to highlight your selection.

Step 18:- Set Root Password: - Setting up a root account and password is one of the most
important steps during your installation. The root account is used to install packages, upgrade
RPMs, and perform most system maintenance. Logging in as root gives you complete control
over your system.
Step 19:- Package Group Selection: - There are two package customization screens available.
Everyone sees the screen shown next. (The choices are slightly different for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 5 Client.) You can accept the defaults, select available options, and/or select Customize
Now. It’s usually best to customize modestly (I’ve selected the Customize Now option), based
on the requirements on your particular Installation and Configuration exam. Click Next. (If you
don’t select Customize Now, skip the next step.)

Step 20:- Package Group Details.


Step 21:- Installing packages defined by the user.

The next screen congratulates you for completing the installation. The next step is to reboot your
computer into RHEL. Click Reboot.
