+=== Base OS installation ===
 
-While setting up Ubuntu server, partition the disk as follows:
+Our platform is built on top of [http://mirrors.mit.edu/ubuntu-releases/12.04.4/ Ubuntu 12.04.04]. The installation iso used was [http://mirrors.mit.edu/ubuntu-releases/12.04.4/ubuntu-12.04.4-server-amd64.iso ubuntu-12.04.4-server-amd64.iso]. The following settings were applied during the installation process:
 
-* 20 GB Primary boot partition
-* 20 GB Home directory
-* 116 GB create a new mount point /Export for images 
-* 4 GB Swap . Set the 'location' as end, and set 'use as' to swap area.
+ 1. Choose relevant language and keyboard settings
+ 2. We expect '''eth2''' is the up-link interface (used to internet access and remote control) and should be interface chosen for installation. It is also expected that '''eth2''' will be connect to a network that will assign it a dhcp address.
+ 3. Specify a local ''USERNAME/PASSWORD'' combo. Please keep track of this information, it will be required for all setup procedures later on.
+ 4. Specify Manual partitioning and partition the disk as follows:
+
+    || Number || Type    || Size  || Flags    || File System || Mount Point ||
+    || 1      || Primary || 20GB  || Bootable || Ext4        || /           || 
+    || 2      || Primary || 20GB  ||          || Ext4        || /home       ||
+    || 3      || Primary || 116GB ||          || Ext4        || /export     ||
+    || 4      || Primary || 4GB   ||          || Swap        ||             ||
+
+'''Note:'''
+ * If no explicit instruction is given for a setting, it's safe to assume the default should work. 
+ * This version of Ubuntu does not work well with USB flash disk installations, The best results are with a  burned CD/DVD and a USB CD/DVD drive as a the boot medium.
