Linux
• A freely distributable version of UNIX originally developed by
Linus Torvalds at Univ. Helsinki Finland
• Originally try to be a better minix than Minix.
• 10/5/91 release 0.02, can run bash and gcc.
• Kernel designed from scratch, with task switching code in
assembly, follows by code in C.
(FreeBSD ported from BSD UNIX)
• Use Gnu tools to develop related system code.
• Most Network daemons and utilities ported from BSD.
• Can run X Windows, TCP/IP, Emacs, mail, news,...

Why Linux is so popular?
• Freeware, open design group, with source code available for
Application/OS/IO/network software developers, kernel hackers,
multimedia authors.
• Low cost: a few dollars (for CD) or free through Internet
download for the complete programming environment, on cheap
pc hardware.
• Support many different peripherals (disk drive, sound card,
Ethernet card, modem, CPU).
• Users participate in a very successful coordinated document
project LDP, e.g. write how-to documents.
• Used in research vessel, web server, routing device,
hospital DB, US marine corp mission.

Various Distribution of Linux
http://www.linux.org/dist/index.html
• developers have taken the Linux source code and created a
variety of different Linux distributions that have slightly different
functionality:
– Installation Programs/Tools
– Package Management Systems
– Different ways to organize directories for include files,
libraries and configuration files.
– (Graphic) Administration Tools
– Port to other platforms (Alpha, Sparc)
– Device/Hardware support
• Redhat 6.2, Slackware Linux 7.1.0, Debian 2.2
• CD-ROM distributor: infomagic, linuxmall

Install Linux: Step 1
• Collect info (vendor/model/version) of
– hard drive (IDE, SCSI)
– CD-ROM (make sure to buy one supported)
– Ethernet Card (e.g., 3com, Intel, HP10/100VG AnyLAN)
– Mouse (PS/2, 2buttons or 3buttons)
– Video chip set (e.g., Chips and Tech. 65550 PCI)
– VRAM: size (e.g., 2MB)
– Monitor: resolution, horizontal/vertical frequency, pixel depth.
• Newer installation programs try to detect hardware types and
choose the corresponding drivers. They are much better now.
• Check Hardware Compatible List HowTo Document.

Install Linux: Step 2
• Give network administrator the domain names (bilbo, frodo,
viva, vinci) of the new Linux PC and ask for
– assigning IP address
(viva: 128.198.192.192, vinci:128.198.192.193)
(bilbo: 128.198.192.182, frodo: 128.198.192.183)
– creating DNS entries in local DNS server
(primary DNS server ccnuccs: 128.198.1.250; secondary
DNS server 128.198.161.248; 128.198.1.117 as 3rd choice)
• Find out the IP address and net mask of the gateway of the LAN
segment which connects the Linux PC. (128.198.192.1,
255.255.248.0)
• The IP address and the net mask 255.255.248.0 define the
subnet address.
• Find out the IP address(es) of the DNS name server(s)

Step 3: Disk Partitions
• Partition disk you could dual boot with WinNT/2000/Win98/OS2
• Create different partitions
– swap partition: virtual memory swapping (size of mem, 64MB)
– root partition: to be mounted as /(root directory) 50-100M
This needs to be in the one of first two drives & under cylinder
1024
– /usr partition: 200-500MB depends on packages
– /home partition: user home directory
– /tmp partition: for temporary files (server use a lot)
– /var partition: system logs
– /usr/src: for source code (linux, utilities)
– /usr/local : for software not available in distribution
(those strings with yellow marks are mounting pt.)
• It is much easier and flexible by just creating swap partition and the
root partition /. All system/user data share the same root partition.

CS401 Page 10
Step3a: Disk Partition
• IDE drives, by convention, are given /dev/hd[L] as device names. L
is the letter assigned to disks in the system, starting with a.
• For SCSI drive, related dev names are /dev/sd[L]
• For management purpose, a hard drive is divided into disk
partitions. There are two types of disk partitions in a PC hard drive:
primary and extended. Within an extended partitions you can have
more logical partitions.
• Partitions are identified by /dev/hda[n] or /dev/sda[n] where n is the
partition ID.
• Most disks allow 3 primary partitions and one extended partition.
• Leave primary partition (/dev/hda1) for Win32, create an extended
partition (/dev/hda2) for Linux.
Note that root partition need to be under cylinder1024
• From the extended partition, create logic partitions for each of the
linux partitions (/dev/hda5-9)

Step 3b: Relocate/Adjust Partitions
• To keep the content of the original window partition
and create space for the new partition for Linux.
– Use partition magic™ to relocate/adjust disk
partitions.
– Use freeware fips program, available in CD’s
dosutils directory for relocate disk partition. Read
documents in fipsdoc subdir.
– There is a DOS fdisk utility can be used to partition
the disk.

Step 4: Make boot and
supplemental floppies
• need a formated 1.44MB 3.5” diskette (If you have PC Card
interface, you need additional diskette.)
• On PC running window system, change to the cd-rom drive
under MS-DOS prompt.
• cd dosutil
• Type rawrite.exe
• Enter ..\images\boot.img and a: for creating boot floppy.
• If you use PC Card, you need a supplemental floppy. Put the
second diskette and Enter supp.img and a: for creating
supplemental diskette, containing PC Card driver.
• You can also use autoboot.exe in dosutil directory to install
without boot floppy, or setup machine to boot Linux from CDROM.

Step 5: Starting installation
• Insert boot floppy, reboot machine
or setup bios to boot from CD-ROM. (our PC is setup to boot
from CD-ROM.)
• When boot: prompt appear, press enter
for GUI mode installation, or type text to start the text mode
installation. GUI mode installation may not work on some
hardware.
• Watch Linux kernel detects hardware devices
• If cdrom is not detected, you may type
• boot: linux hdc=cdrom (enter)
• There will several dialog boxes to ask for info.
• Use tab to switch among choices
• Use arrow keys to select options within a choice.
• Use enter key to confirm the choice.

Select Installation Method, Language,
Keyboard/Mouse Configuration,
installation type option
• If you use boot floppy, Select installation method: from CDROM, NFS, FTP, or SMB shared volume image from Win32
system.
• Select the default English as language selection,
• Select the default choices as keyboard selection,
• Select “custom”
• In text mode, you select “install customer system” by pressing
down arrow key three times and hit tab for OK button, then hit
enter to confirm.

Step 6: Linux Disk Partition
• You will then be asked to use druid or fdisk.
• Select druid and presented with a list of the disk/partitions in
/dev/hda[n] or /dev/sda[n].
• Click delete to delete the existing partitions.
• After delete exiting partitions, Use druid to create linux swap and
root partitions and set their file system type.
• Create swap partition by
– skip the mount point; enter 128 (MB) for size; select the linux
swap file type; confirm the creation.
• create the root partition
– Enter / as mount point; enter 2800 for size; check the “grow
to fill” option; confirm the creation of root partition. The root
partition size will adjust to ~2951 MB.
• By default Linux create Linux native type (ext2 file system).

Step6a: Suggested Disk Partitions
• We have a 3079MB Drive in each of two PCs.
• First create the linux swap partition. No mount point
string is given.
• Then create a linux native partition, give 2800 as size
and check the option to “Grow to fill disk”. Enter / as
mount point.
• Here are suggested Disk Partitions for our exercise

Step 7: File System Configuration
• Choose the root partition /dev/hda1 for formatting.
• If you would like to keep the data of older partitions
such those for win32, you should not choose to
format them.
• If you know the disk is ok and you do not have check
the “Check for bad blocks while formatting” option. It
will speed up the formatting.

Configure Loader/ Network options
• Install LILO (the LInux LOader). Select the first option: on the
Master Boot Record (MBR).
• For dual boot you may want choose to install LILO on the first
sector of the root partition and avoid compete with the Window
NT loader on MBR. (See slide 21)
• Network Configuration: unchecked DHCP. We would like to give
web server static/permanent IP address.
• Enter the IP address 128.198.192.182 for bilbo, 183 for frodo
• Enter the netmask 255.255.248.0
• The network address/broadcast address will be generated.
• Enter bilbo or frodo as host name
• Enter 128.198.192.1 as gateways.
• Enter DNS info we collect at Step 2.

Set Time Zone and Accounts
• Select “Mountain Time Zone”
• Check the “Use Daylight Saving time” and “System
Clock use UTC”.
• Set a root password, cs401linux, and create a user
account with your login name.
• Choose “Enable MD5 passwords”, “Enable Shadow
passwords”.
• Do not check the “Enable NIS” option.

Dual Boot using NT Loader
• For dual boot using NT loader, you may want choose to install
LILO on the first sector of the root partition. This avoids
competing with the Window NT loader on MBR. Once MBR is
overwritten by LILO. Window systems do not know where to
load kernel. It is bad for future upgrade.
• Make sure you create a boot floppy, since during the first reboot,
NT loader does not have any info on how to load Linux Kernel.
• Reboot with the boot floppy.
• Use dd command to copy the 512B bootsect information as a
file, bootsect.lin and save it in a floppy disk.
dd if=/dev/hda3 bs=512 count-=1 of=/dosc/bootsect.lin
• Reboot without boot floppy into the window system, copy
bootsect.lin file from the floppy to the window boot partition such
as C:\
• Edit the C:\boot.ini and add
c:\bootsect.lin=“Redhat Linux 6.2” in the OS section.
• For every new Linux installation, you need do this again.

Step 9: Create file system on
partitions and install packages
• It will go through each partition and create ext2 file systems.
(may take about 4 min.)
• Then software modules of selected packages will be shown
being installed with the total #, completed #, and remaining # of
software packages and their estimated times.
• There will be about 426 packages and 601MB.
• It should take about 15 min to install all these packages.
• You will then be asked to create boot disk. If you use NT loader
for dual boot, make sure you create one.
• Make sure you remove the CD and boot disk.
