Assignment Eight - Clean Stand-Alone OS Install
This assignment is the installation of an operating system. In this assignment, you will overwrite the operating system that is on your computer with a single new operating system (The instructor will tell you which OS to install).
Turn on your computer to verify it is in a working state. (Always do this first!)

Verify your BIOS has been setup to boot first from a CD-ROM or Flash drive -- this depends on the media you have your install data on

Insert your installation media and install the operating system

Once you have installed the OS, do the following:
  • Setup the Admin account username -- comadmin
  • Setup the Admin account password -- G00dPa55w0rd
  • Set up an ordinary User Account username -- comuser
  • Set up an ordinary User Account password -- G00dPa55w0rd
  • Create 2 disk partitions
  • Change the desktop image
  • Set the power options for turning off the computer
Restart your computer and log in as both users to make sure they work
