OS Installation

Base OS installation
Our platform is built on top of Ubuntu 12.04.04. The installation iso used was ubuntu-12.04.4-server-amd64.iso. The following settings were applied during the installation process:
- Choose relevant language and keyboard settings
- 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.
- Specify a local USERNAME/PASSWORD combo. Please keep track of this information, it will be required for all setup procedures later on.
- 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.
