 Good afternoon everybody. I am Swathi Patil working as a system administrator in the CAC department. Today I am going to give a demo on Ubuntu installation. We are going to use Ubuntu 8.04 for the installation purpose. For starting the installation, you have to insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive and set your boot priority to boot from CD. If it is not, I will show you how to do it. Insert the CD and restart your machine. Press F2, F10 or F12 to enter the BIOS setup. You have to simultaneously press one of the keys to enter. From the boot priority, select CD-ROM drive. Press enter. F10 for saving the settings. This is the language which you are going to use for installation. Default is English. Enter. Here are the four options. We are going to install Ubuntu and select the second option. Install Ubuntu. This is the Ubuntu screen. Ubuntu installation wizard will guide us through the installation. First, the welcome screen appears. Here you have the language which you are going to use for installation. Click on forward. Now we have to set the system time. You can select it from the drop-down box to select Asia and India. Either way you can mark it from your Kolkata has to appear. This is the keyboard layout. Default is USA. Click on forward. Now the wizard will present the partition screen. Here you have three options. First one is guided resize. Second one is guided use entire disk and third one is manual. If you select the first option, it will display the OS install and the free space. If you use the second option, this will erase all first OS and use the entire disk for Ubuntu installation. But we are going to select the third option that is manual. Click on forward. Now you can see this is Windows Partitions and this is the available free space. You have to select the free space and click on new partition. Ubuntu can be installed on primary partition or logical. First of all, we are going to create the slash boot partition. For this, we are going to give 100 megabyte of space. File system will be ext3. Mount point will be slash boot. Click OK. Select the free space, new partition. Allocate the size 20 GB for slash boot. This is the swap area. It has to be double of the RAM. I have 4 GB of RAM, so I have given it 8 GB. 50 GB I have given to slash hole. You can give the entire remaining space or assign the space whatever you want over here for the slash home partition. These 4 are the basic Ubuntu partition that is slash boot, slash, swap and slash home. Now here you have to read all the message. That is whether you want to go back and change the partitions or you want to continue. Here specify the name that you want to give to your computer. Then the name which you want to use for login, password. We enter the password. Click on forward. Now here you can, if you want to import some of the programs from window, you can select from here or click on forward. If you don't wish to do so. Now here is the summary of the selections we have done. That is the language of installation, English, keyboard layout, USA, username, login name, then the location, etc. If you feel everything is correct according to your instruction, click on install. This bar showing the installation, you can see that 5% of the installation has been done. 15 to 20 minutes are required for completing the installation. The wizard shows that the installation is complete. Now press enter on the restart now option. You can see here that you have been asked to remove the CD and press enter.
