-	=== Partitioning	+	=== Partitioning & Formating the HDD ===
		+
		+	Note: The /etc/fstab file that comes with the FC5 image is configured to work with
		+	this [[Hard Drive\|hard drive]] partitioning scheme. If you want to use a different partitioning scheme you must edit /etc/fstab accordingly. The flash contains the standard visual editor, vi. Instructions for using vi are available at http://www.cs.colostate.edu/helpdocs/vi.html.
		+
		+	We run fdisk and create partitions. I use two partitions: ''hda1'' for ''/'', ''hda2'' for the swap space. For most users, 10gb for ''/'' on ''hda1'' is adequate. 512mb is good for a swap space on ''hda2''. However, you can decide which way you want to break up your hard disk. Remember you need to mount /dev/hda1 before you untar the image (More on that later). I leave it up to you to create a third partition on /dev/hda3 which can use the remaining space on the disk. Remember that you will have to edit your /etc/fstab to make it mount on boot up. But this can be done after you have FC5 up and running.
		+
		+	# fdisk /dev/hda
		+
		+	Once the partitions are created we format the partitions. Here we format the first partition on /dev/hda (the hard drive is /dev/hda).
		+	# mke2fs -j /dev/hda1
		+	mke2fs 1.22, 22-Jun-2001 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
		+	Filesystem label=
		+	OS type: Linux
		+	Block size=4096 (log=2)
		+	Fragment size=4096 (log=2)
		+	1251712 inodes, 2502115 blocks
		+	125105 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user
		+	First data block=0
		+	77 block groups
		+	32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group
		+	16256 inodes per group
		+	Superblock backups stored on blocks:
		+	32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736, 1605632
		+
		+	Writing inode tables: done
		+	Creating journal (8192 blocks): done
		+	Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done
		+
		+	This filesystem will be automatically checked every 29 mounts or
		+	180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
		+	#
		+
		+	Next we create the swap space
		+	# mkswap /dev/hda2
		+	Setting up swapspace version 1, size = 518184960 bytes
		+	#
		+
		+	== Install FC5 Image ==
		+	=== Mount the new partition ===
		+	This will allow us to create the FC5 system on the hard drive instead of in the flash ram drive.
		+	# mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /mnt
		+
		+	=== Extracting the Image ===
		+	We now use our FTP client to upload fc5-ppc-3-20060710.tar.gz from http://www.kurobox.com/fedora/5/ppc to the /mnt directory on the Kuro Box.
		+
		+	We then change directories to /mnt and untar the image in what will be our root directory
		+	# cd /mnt
		+	# tar zxvf fc5-ppc-3-20060710.tar.gz
		+
		+	Once the image is untarred we can delete the image from /mnt.
		+
		+	# rm fc5-ppc-3-20060710.tar.gz
		+
		+	== Clean up and Reboot ==
		+
		+	Unmount everything
		+	# cd /
		+	# umount /mnt
		+
		+	Set the box to boot to the new system. By the way, that device is FL3 in lowercase.
		+	# echo -n "OKOK" > /dev/fl3
		+
		+	and then restart the system
		+	# shutdown -r now
		+
		+	Wait a few minutes and then log onto your Kuro Box with putty. The first time the system boots it will take about 3 minutes as it needs to generate the certificates used by sshd. Login with user id root and password kuroadmin. The network is configured for DHCP.
		+
		+	== Post Installation Tasks ==
		+
		+	First we set the root password and create a new user who is a member of wheel so they can su to root.
		+
		+	kurobox ~ # cd /
		+	kurobox # passwd
		+	New UNIX password:
		+	Retype new UNIX password:
		+	passwd: password updated successfully
		+	kurobox # useradd dtaylor -m -G users,wheel -s /bin/bash
		+	kurobox # passwd dtaylor
		+	New UNIX password:
		+	Retype new UNIX password:
		+	passwd: password updated successfully
		+	kurobox #
		+
		+	This image has a couple additional rpms installed to make life easier on the Kuro Box.
		+	* '''kuro-initscripts''' - modified init scripts to handle shutdown/reboot properly. Also listens for the power and reset buttons.
		+	* '''kuro-release''' - yum repository on kurobox.com, and additional packages for the Kuro Box like the above initscripts.
