== OS Installation == [[TOC(WiMAX/dSite*)]] === Base OS installation === 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: 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. === Configure Host Name === /etc/hosts /etc/hostname === Configure Networking === * Four networks * Data * CM * Control * Outside Setup networking as follows on the console host {{{ # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them.
